About the Item
Vintage art glass vase features cylindrical body with free flowing decor or large murrini and canes on light celadon blue background. The rim is accentuated with light purple glass band, and the colored glass body is encased in clear glass layer in sommerso technique, creating a clear glass base that visually elevates the piece by adding an illusion of floating above the surface.
The vase is signed and dated in murrina on the bottom; it stands 10.75" tall.
Richard Marquis (b. 1945) studied glass blowing under Marvin Lipofsky, who established a glass program at University of California at Berkeley in 1964. In 1969 Marquis receivied Fulbright grant to travel to Venice to observe glassmaking techniques; following up the advise of Dale Chihuly, who visited Murano on a Fulbright in 1968, Marquis went to Venini glassworks on Murano. As one of the first American studio glassmakers to travel to Italy to study traditional Venetian techniques, Marquis learned about murrine, a canne, and incalmo techniques that he would base his Master of Arts thesis for the University of California on, and later teach to other American studio glassblowers at schools across the country, including Penland School of Crafts, Pilchuck Glass School, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, and the University of California, Los Angeles.
Following up his experimental works with colorful murrini in 1970s, such as his famous Crazy Quilt Teapot series, Stars and Stripes Acid Capsule, and Lord's Prayer murrina, Marquis created Noble Effort Studio in 1982, where he teamed up with Ro Purser, his assistant at Haystack School of Crafts, creating a new Studio Glass artwork, such as paperweights and vases, that was based on murrini. Noble Effort works were sold at art galleries, museums, and prestigious craft shows including the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and the Philadelphia Art Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Marquis and other contemporary artists used the term "murrini" for their millefiori glass art, referring to the mosaic glass of ancient Alexandria called Murrhine, to emphasize that the new, more geometric patterns created in their glass works were not floral, as the traditional millefiori were.
Marquis has been honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards by the Glass Art Society and by the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass. He has received the James Renwick Alliance Masters of the Medium Award, Smithsonian Institute, and he is a member of the American Craft Council College of Fellows. His works are represented in more than 50 international museum collections including Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA; Finnish Glass Museum, Riihimaki, Finland; Glasmuseet Ebeltoft, Ebeltoft, Denmark; Museum Kunst Palast, Dusseldorf, Germany; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Musée du Design et Arts Appliqués Contemporains, Lausanne, Switzerland; Museum of Arts and Design, New York, NY; National Museum of American Art, Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.; New Glass Museum, Tsukuba, Japan; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA; Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, Australia; Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, United Kingdom.
Sculptural, highly decorative vase with graphic form, high quality craftsmanship, and statement piece presence 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, Mid Century Modern, Eclectic, Transitional, Scandinavian Modern, Minimalist, Japandi, Collected, or Contemporary.

Carl Erickson Sommerso Vase, American Art Studio Glass 1940s-1950s
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Sculptural Mid Century Modern teal and clear glass decorative vase was created by Carl Erickson for Erickson Glass Works. The vase has Erickson's typical heavy encased glass design, with the teal glass gather encased in clear glass in sommerso technique and the pronounced base done in clear glass with controlled bubbles. The pontil is ground.
The vase is in good vintage condition with some age-appropriate signs of wear on the bottom. It is unsigned, as vast majority of Ericson piece were, and is missing its sticker, but can be clearly identified by multiple printed and online catalogues and other resources.
Carl Erickson (1899-1966) worked at Pairpoint Manufacturing Company, joining his father as an apprentice and spending the next 20 years developing a high level of craftsmanship, including precision use of controlled bubbles, a technique often associated with Pairpoint, that was widely used by Erickson in his own glass designs. In the early 1930s he was employed by Libbey Glass and from 1937 - by the Blenko Glass Company. After leaving Blenko, Carl founded his own art glass studio in Bremen, Ohio in 1943. Erickson glass was hand blown, so no two pieces could be identical.
Erickson made reproductions for a number of museums, including the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D.C., Old Sturbridge Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corning Museum of Glass, and the Ohio State Historical Society Museum. Many of his glass creations have been selected for display at several distinguished museums, and in 1953 a traveling...
