Sue Ellen Fowler Amphora This miniature amphora (1.125 x 2.75 inches) is a beautiful example of the groundbreaking work Sue Ellen Fowler did with multi-colored boro-silicate glass. The stopper is intact, there are no cracks or marring. I took the photos in daylight to fully display the beautiful colors - red, blue, grey-green and grey. The third photo shows the amphora from the opposite side.  

Art Glass Egg Glass egg with contemporary art glass marble style spiral ribbon design. 1.375 inches by 2.125 inches. I'm not sure who the artist is, but my parents bought this in 1988 at the Light Opera Gallery. My guess is it was made by someone who specialized in marbles, such as Steven Maslach or Jody Fine, but I have no verification. The ribbon is black with a bluish-violet stripe on one side, and white with red, pale pink and aqua stripes on the other side. It is not signed and does not have a faceted bottom, so it could not be used as a paperweight, but very lovely in a stand.  

Charles Gibson Bird Figurine This figurine, by Charles Gibson, maker of some of the marbles we have listed in our Toy section, is fully hand-formed, not molded. He has used marble glass in colors of white, red, green, blue, yellow and orange. The bird is 4 inches long and stands 3 inches tall, and "Gibson 1986" is stamped on the bottom.  

Terry Crider Jack in the Pulpit Vase This Jack-in-the-pulpit vase is by glass artisan Terry Crider. It has a pulled loop design in several shades of light blue and gold, with an iridescent flame orange interior. It measures about 6" tall x 4-1/2" across, and is engraved on the bottom with signature and dated 1982. Here's a great opportunity to obtain an rare example of this artist's limited supply of work.  

Stuart Abelman Unicorn Head Figurine Absolutely beautiful unicorn head figurine by artist Stuart Abelman. (See also our paperweight by Abelman in the Paperweight category.) White & silver iridescent finish with pulled-feather design on crystal. White spiral on horn. Heavy, solid figure. 2 inches x 7.5 x 6.5. Signed Abelman, MU600-698, 1981. In mint condition.  

American Verlys Pine Cone Bowl Smokey Topaz This beautiful Pinecone bowl by Verlys was produced by the American Holophane Co., a division of Holophane France, which produced Verlys glass in that country. This color is called Smokey Topaz, and the bowl has the molded signature in the bottom. It is NOT one of the later Heisey-produced items. It has an etched and polished finish on the outside of the bowl, and the one photo indicates some very minor flea-bites on one "pine needle". A lovely piece in an underrated color.  

Mount St. Helens Volcanic Ash Glass Vase The glass of this beautiful little vase is made from the volcanic ash from the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980. It produces a lovely iridescence, as seen in these photos. The bud vase measures 4-1/2" tall x 3-1/4" in diameter. It is marked on the bottom: Mt. St. Helens Glass 1982. In excellent condition, no chips or cracks. Much of the ash has been used in pottery, so there are only so many items in glass from this limited source of material.
