About the Item

Rare bud vase by Patricia Esche is an important example of early American studio glass movement. It is stylistically similar to her blue vase with ruffled rim that is displayed as a part of "There at the beginning: Early Studio Glass from the Parkman Collection" by Corning Museum of Glass. Stripes of fused glass in dark, jewel-like green color showcase the fluid, organic shape of the vase, while light gradations of color and some controlled bubbles help convey the density and the structure of the glass. The vase is signed and dated by the artist on the bottom. Patricia Esch (b. 1940) attended Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where she received a BA in Design in 1963. She then studied under Harvey Littleton at the University of Wisconsin until 1965. Afterwards, she moved to Colorado and set up a studio in Denver; she was described as "The only woman glassblower within at least 800 miles of Denver" in the local newspaper. In 1973, Esch was honored by the American Association of University of Women. She had been a visiting craftsperson at Colorado State University and at Chadron State College in Nebraska. Esch was a studio glass artist until 1974, when she sold her equipment and returned to Wisconsin to pursue other creative avenues; she continues to make art glass as a hobby, and her work has been exhibited around the world.

Matthew Buechner for Thames Glass Urn Bud Vase, American Studio Glass
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage art glass bud vase features orange body with undulating ribbon accent in red fused glass; the colored glass is layered in and encased in clear glass layer in sommerso technique. The urn shaped body is mounted on round conical base in mottled lime green glass. The minimal form of the vase juxtaposes the bright color palette, evocative of Memphis Milano pieces. The vase is signed by the artist on the bottom. Sculptural, highly decorative vase with graphic form, high quality craftsmanship, and striking color palette will make a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast and a perfect addition to a wide range of interiors, from Traditional to Post Modern, Art Deco, Mid Century Modern, Eclectic, Transitional, Scandinavian Modern, Collected, or Contemporary. Matthew Buechner is an established American glass artist; he started his training in 1975 as an apprentice to glassblower Jon Meyer in Canton, New York, and continued it at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York, where he studied glass blowing with Michael Pavlik. Matthew also served as an apprentice at the Glashutte Eisch in Germany, and attended workshops at Rhode Island School of Design, the Penland School of Design, and the Haystack Mountain School in Maine.
