Isle of Wight Studio / Harris 'Victorian' Blue Glass Vase

Description

A beautiful glass cylinder vase, designed by Jonathan Harris in 1989, for the renowned British glassworks Isle of Wight Studio, part of the Victorian pattern range. This range came in several colours mixed with either gold leaf or silver leaf. According to Mark Hill's excellent book on Mdina and Isle of Wight Studio glass, these included blue with silver leaf, but not blue with gold leaf. This vase is therefore most likely the blue with silver leaf colourway, although some areas have a golden sheen to them, probably due to the subtle iridescent finish. Still bears the original factory label on the base.

Size

Measures approx 5.5 inches tall by 1.75 inches in diameter at widest point.
