Amber Peacock Vase Large
About the Piece
Hand blown amber colored lustre glass vase with a repeated peacock feather like pattern of yellow and blue with light pink iridescence measuring 7” tall & 5” across.
This piece is one-of-a-kind, as are all of Chamber's handblown vases. Though they may be similar, no two are the same in shape, size and color. Of all these things that make each piece unique, though, it is actually the iridescent color that make these glass pieces most collectable. Referred to as lustre glass, the delicately iridescent glass with rich color seen here is attained by utilizing a technique in glass manufacturing which requires precise execution of complicated formulas and highly controlled environments, making it one of the most challenging of all glass creation. Lustre glass was first produced in the United States by Louis Comfort Tiffany in the late 1800's with the intent to replicate the lustrous sheen that forms naturally on buried ancient glass.
