About this lot
Origin: New York, USA
Medium: Hand-Blown Glass, Enamel And Gilt Decoration
Dimensions: Approx. 3 x 2 x 7 in.
Condition: No visible chips or cracks.
Additional Information: Hand-blown studio art glass trumpet or bud vase marked on the base “Victoria and Richard 1993 MacKenzie-Childs.” The tall, slender form has a dramatically ruffled or “handkerchief” rim with a metallic silver-colored edge and a flared decorative base.
The lower body has alternating purple and yellow stripes, metallic gold, and patterned decoration. The upper section incorporates blue and purple polka-dot elements, while a metallic gold luster band encircles the neck.
The irregular ruffled rim was shaped by hand while the glass was molten, characteristic of studio glass production. The signed and dated marking identifies the piece as 1993 production by Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs and places it within the company’s early Aurora, New York studio period.
