An art glass vase blown by Sonja Blomdahl in 1981. Signed and dated on the bottom. This vase is in the incalmo technique with intense, translucent lapis blue on the interior of the throat, black upon the exterior and a base in beautiful transparent tomato red. Approximately 11" height. We have considerable experience with art glass and can appraise and broker single items and collections.
This vase was acquired at a local midwest auction gallery for approximately 20% of the retail price and resold within a specialized secondary market for 50% of the retail price. Economic value discrepancies of this kind are common and well illustrate the sometimes confusing levels of market value that buyers and sellers encounter and that we are retained to explain and navigate in our clients' behalf.
