Art Glass Cup Bowl

Any help with the maker?
Thanks

 

I don't know that they did this shape, but I'm getting a Glass Eye Studio vibe from this piece. The decor reminds me of what they do on a lot of their vases & bowls.

 

Do their pieces have pontil scars?

 

This looks like PNW blown studio glass often called My St Helen's ash glass. Supposedly the volcanic ash gave the glass special appearance. I do see a pontil scar in the 2nd photo.

 

Thanks for the info. Studio you say. With no signature seems hard to ID then.

 

Try Mdina or MDG.

 

Seems like Mdina are all signed, or a lot of them are, and their bases are ground and polished.

 

A great deal of Mdina isn't signed. They also do not always have ground polished bases.

 

I do not know about the rest of the country but out here several studios including Chihully run glass blowing classes for the masses and a lot of odd ball stuff shows up. This is nicer but could easily be an advanced student. Likely to be good for its appearance only.

 

Glass Eye Studio vases will have pontil scars, I have 3 of their non paperweight pieces. I did a little looking and didn't find an example of their work in this shape. FWIW, I they use Mt St. Helen ash in their glass as well.

 

GES started with the Mt St Helens ash also. About the only place that doen't use it is the Pilchuck School. If you come out and drive to Mt St Helens there are/were a couple of studios along the way where you could watch the work and of course buy a souvenir.
