Steven Lundberg Art Glass Studios PANSY SWIRL VASE 10 3/4 Inches

Description: Steven Lundberg Art Glass Studios PANSY SWIRL VASE Purchased in 2000 at the studioIt is a very large vase 10 3/4 inches tall and 8 3/4 inches wide on the widest part of the mouth. This vase is unsigned. I drove to the Steven Lundberg Art Studios in Davenport CA and purchased a large amount of material on 9/24/2000. This vase was part of that purchase. I was told my the store manager that the vase was done by Justin and Steven together. They were working on creating this shape- When I said it was unsigned, she said that I could leave it and they would sign it, and I could come back to pick it up- BUT I was in the process of moving and decided to just take it unsigned. -Oops!I have seen signed examples of this vase on the market over the years and clearly the purchaser would have to trust me that I was there- Good news is that I have the original sales slip with my name on it. It will be included with the sale of this vase as all the rest that I own are signed. There are no chips cracks or dinks. Few light scratches on the base from sitting- Colors are bright and exciting. These photos were taken with my cruddy phone under florescent lighting- So there is no color enhancing lights or trickery. Photos were cropped that's it. Very carefully packed and shipped with insurance.Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! Thanks! This is a history that I cut and pasted off of the internet- I do not know who wrote it to give them credit. Lundberg Studios was founded in 1970 by the late James Lundberg and is known for its clear-encased California Style paperweights as well as Art Nouveau and Tiffany style iridescent glass. James Lundberg began working in glass in the late 1960s, while a student at California State University, San Jose. He and brother Steven moved their small backyard glass studio, Nouveau Glass, from San Jose to Davenport in 1973, and renamed it Lundberg Studios. Steven Lundberg left the studio in 1997 to establish his own studio.Artist James Lundberg first started creating beautiful, high quality studio glass paperweights in 1972. Classically trained in ceramics, then glazes and finally glassmaking techniques, Lundberg traveled to Germany, Italy, Spain, France and England to learn his art. Stopping in New York City on his way home from Europe, he was struck by the beauty and hues of Tiffany Art Glass. His studio is now the leading replicator of Tiffany Style art glass. Using the knowledge and skills he had acquired, most notably the prismatic glasses and decorative techniques of Tiffany, Lundberg began creating paperweights of a style and beauty that had previously not been created or exhibited. In conjunction with the other artists of Lundberg Studios, this new style was called California Paperweight Style or "torchwork".Examples of the glassworks and art of James Lundberg and Lundberg Studios are included in nearly every significant private glass collection and major museum.James Lundberg passed away in 1992.Steven Lundberg passed away early in 2008, from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). He could no longer practice his art from 2003.Justin Lundberg passed away August, 2019 at the age of 40.In this talented Lundberg family, Steven’s son Justin had inherited the skills of a master glass blower. He was continuing the family tradition creating his own series of art glass. The Oregon studio was completed under the influence of Steven and new and exciting works of art were taking form. Tragically, Justin passed away recently at the age of 40. The creations that he completed in his too short life are now being sought after even moreso by collectors.Steve's work is on display in a number of permanent collections including The Smithsonian Institute, the White House, The Corning Museum of Glass, the Philadelphia Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of American Glass, and the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum, to name a few. Steven Lundberg Glass Art is exhibited in top galleries and catalogs throughout the world. Steve has lectured and demonstrated from New Jersey to Tokyo and has been privileged to collaborate with many distinguished glass artists, including Rick Ayotte, Bob Banford, Randall Grubb, Barry Sautner and Victor Trabucco.Justin's work is in many significant collections in the U. S. A. and abroad.
