    Can't really capture the right colors. The piece is more like bluish with purple accents. Depending on the light it turns to greenish/aquamarine and gold outlines.
    Any help with the origin and reading the siggy?
    Thanks

    Maybe opalescent? It looks like the last part might be 2012 but sure is hard to read.

    Stunning big lump, that. And no, not at all easy to craft. Centring those bubbles in the latticino would be really tricky.

    Lt. blue opalescent with controlled bubbles and a Diamond design. It's a modern shop product. Depends on who made it as to it's worth. Very nice looking.

    Could be J C 2012, J C Jon or something else JO/E, T0/2, on and on. There are areas that have many art glass studios that produce lovely modern pieces that I have seen sign their initials and the year. Do you live close or did you buy this piece from an area close to one of these "hubs". I don't know at this time if there is any way of tracking the artist of these pieces. With the exception of going to the local galleries and places selling the modern art glass. Local collage of the arts, art villages, etc. The next question I have is with a great amount of hesitancy... Does it glow in the dark? Your original post had hints that it might. Not trying to suggest an artist, simply trying to look at every possible lead or clue. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art piece. Good luck, hope you find the answer.

    Gorgeous vase! I have never seen his signature signed the way it is on your vase. Here is a picture of his signature on a paper weight that I have. I have a few other pieces that have the same signature as this paper weight. I wonder if someone else is making the same vase.

    I also can't explain why the different signature. I already contacted the website.
    It would be strange if someone else did exactly the same vase.

    Eickholt himself retired in 2013. I don't know if the studio is still active or not. The site still seems active though.
