Item Details
Description
The AEAA is pleased to offer this gorgeous set of (3) frosted satin hand blown art glass vessels, including a great octagonal pedestal compote, and two matching baluster style vases. Each wonderful piece is finished in a subtle rainbow of flowing colors, by Reuven Art Glass. Rueven is a well known American Art Glass decorating company who purchases their blanks from well known glass-makers such as Fenton, Arc International, Indiana Glass and others. The first lines of Rueven glass were decorated with mauve as the dominant color. In the late 1980s, they changed from mauve to a rose pink shade and in the 1990s they began doing items with green or yellow as the dominant color. All of their items come in a matte, frosted satin finish. This lot represent a gorgeous full set of items that belong in your collection. Our stunning pieces weigh 5#, and compote stands 5.5 x 5.5 x 5.75 inches tall, while the vases stand 5 x 5 x 9inches tall, and all are in great condition. xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Robert Rueven Brown has been designing glass art for over 30 years. His glass creations are reproductions of an art form originating over 3,500 years ago in Persia. According to Robert: My glass is my canvas. I prepare all my glassware decorations by hand and use many techniques. After etching the glass, I hand-paint gold, silver and other luster colors on to the glass. I then fire each piece so that the colors melt into the glass creating "art glass." The firing temperatures must be controlled carefully in order to prevent cracking and to enhance the oxidizing of the metals, which creates the rich colors. I further enhance the beauty of the glass with unique designs of judaica, trees, butterflies, aquatic scenes and animals. These images are created by sandblasting the glass to create designs that give depth and dimension to the colors. The designs are etched into each piece and fired into the glass in an annealing process that permanently tempers the glass. My glass pieces consist of vases, bowls, stemware, candlesticks and trays which are all hand-signed. I am always experimenting with new, original artistic designs.
