About the Item

Vintage art glass perfume bottle features swirling structure of millefiori murines surrounding the central element of dichroic glass, encased inside a clear glass layer in sommerso technique. The piece has elongated oval shape with rounded rim and stopper handle that create soft, organic form, directing the eye along the lines of the bottle. The gentle tone-on-tone color variations of the murines, shifting between cappuccino, mocha, and espresso brown colors, juxtapose the colorful dichroic element. Dichroic glass is a type of glass that displays multiple colors when viewed from different angles. This unique material is created by coating glass with multiple micro-layers of metallic oxides, such as titanium, chromium, and aluminum, that are applied using a vacuum deposition process which allows for precise control over the thickness and composition of each layer. The modern form of dichroic glass was developed in the mid-20th century by NASA scientists for use in space shuttles; it was called “dichroic” for its ability to reflect certain wavelengths of light while allowing others to pass through. The glass glows green in UV light, indicating inclusion of uranium in the formulation. The piece is signed and dated by the artist on the bottom. We are offering two dichroic art glass sculptures or paperweights by Robert Eickholt in separate listings. The elegant, sculptural form, high quality craftsmanship, and tasteful, reserved color palette will make the perfume bottle a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast and a perfect addition to a wide range of interiors, from Traditional to Victorian, Arts and Crafts, Transitional, Modern Country, Hollywood Regency, Art Deco, Glam, Collected, or Contemporary. Robert Eickholt (b. 1947) is a well-known American glass artist who has been creating blown glass art for over 30 years. Robert founded Eickholt Glass in 1978 in Columbus, Ohio after studying glassblowing in Berkeley, California, and completing graduate classes in his craft at The Ohio State University and the Columbus College of Art and Design. His pieces have become coveted collector’s items; his works are represented by multiple galleries nationwide and are showcased at the Hawk Galleries in Columbus and the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York.

Jon Kuhn Early Sculptural Op-Art Vase, American Art Studio Glass, 1982
By Jon Kuhn
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Triangular faceted vase features a graphic pattern of ruby red, white, and dichroic glass encased in clear glass layers in sommerso technique. The body of the vase is cut and polished in triangular shape, exposing complex, colorful core; the subtle sheen of dichroic glass adds complexity and visual interest to a reserved color scheme. The vase is signed and dated by the artist in etching on the bottom; this rare, hard to find example of American studio glass would make a great gift to any studio glass, art collector, or modern design enthusiast. Jon Kuhn is one of the foremost glass artists in his field, creating highly intricate architectural glass art sculpture that has won world-wide acclaim. He received BFA from Washburn University in 1974, MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1978, and Honorary DFA from Washburn University in 2006. Jon Kuhn early work was done in molten glass, but currently he works in cold glass that is cut, polished, and fused, resulting in sculptures that take in surrounding light, then reflects and refracts it back; they appear to change color and radiance when viewed from different angles and lighting. Kuhn creates cold glass art in a variety of shapes and forms, but he is perhaps best known for his glass cubes which contain a colorful glass interior cased in clear glass. Kuhn’s work stands out for its complexity, its geometric forms, and for its mesmerizing presence. Jon Kuhn glass...
