Sonja Blomdahl Large Handblown Art Glass Sphere Vessel Vase Incalmo Pilchuck
By Sonja Blomdahl 2
Located in Portland, OR
A large hand-blown early glass vessel by the celebrated Pacific Northwest glass artist, Sonja Blomdahl (b. 1952), signed & numbered, 1980's.
In 1974 Blomdahl got her degree from Massachusetts College of Art & studied under sculptor Dan Dailey. She then trained at the Orrefors glassworks in Sweden, Venetian glass master Checco Ongaro taught Blomdahl the method of double-bubble blowing (or incalmo), of which this large vessel is a great example of.
In 1978, Blomdahl served as a teaching assistant at the Pilchuck Glass School (Stanwood, Washington) she has held teaching positions at the Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle; Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Maine; and the Appalachian Center in Smithville, Tennessee. Blomdahl's first solo exhibition was at the Traver Sutton Gallery in Seattle in 1981. She opened her own studio in Seattle in 1983 which remained open until 2009. Since the late 2000s, she has moved beyond the symmetrical glass vessels she is known for and works increasingly with architectural forms.

Substantial Polished Petrified Fossilized Wood 5.5" Decorative Sphere / Orb
Located in Red Lion, PA
Substantial Polished Petrified Fossilized Wood Decorative Sphere / Orb, 5.5" Diameter, 6.5 lbs
This impressive petrified wood decorative sphere measures approximately 5.5 inches in diameter (16.5 inches in circumference) and weighs a substantial 6.4 pounds. Expertly polished to a luminous sheen, the orb showcases extraordinary natural variations in color from rich chocolate browns to warm amber honey, creamy beige, soft greys, and golden tan. The surface reveals mesmerizing natural patterns and textures, including swirling grain, delicate veining, subtle craquelure, and striking abstract formations that can only be found in fossilized wood. While polished smooth, the orb retains slight tactile variations, celebrating the organic character of this ancient material.
Petrified wood is formed over millions of years as mineral-rich water permeates buried wood, gradually replacing its cellular structure with quartz, chalcedony, or other minerals while preserving the original growth rings and textures. Each specimen is a unique work of nature, blending the warmth of wood with the permanence of stone. Collectors value petrified wood not only for its geological significance but also for its aesthetic qualities each piece is entirely unique, a frozen moment in natural history.
The sphere shape, long associated with harmony, wholeness, and timeless design, enhances the inherent beauty of the material. Unlike raw or slab-cut petrified wood, a polished orb emphasizes the depth of color, movement, and mineralization from every angle. Substantial in weight and presence, this piece makes a striking accent for a coffee table, bookshelf, or desktop. It can serve as a meditative object, a sculptural statement, or a thoughtful addition to a collection of natural history and decorative arts.
Highly collectible and increasingly sought-after, large polished petrified wood spheres such as this bring a sense of luxury, grounding energy, and conversation-worthy beauty into any space.
Condition: Excellent overall with natural surface variations inherent to petrified wood. Please see photos for details.
This is a timeless decorative object that bridges nature, design, and geology, an ideal addition for collectors of minerals, fossilized wood, decorative spheres, and natural history objects.
