Lot 388:
Two Decorative Objects including a Gloe Finch Ceramic Orb and an Art Glass Paperweight
Description
This lot features two contemporary decorative objects: a hand-blown art glass paperweight and a ceramic orb by artist Gloe Finch. The art glass paperweight is composed of a thick clear glass casing over an internal abstract core. The internal design features swirling tendrils of cobalt and teal blue glass with small controlled bubbles and a central teardrop-shaped air trap. Some areas within the glass show fine iridescent particulate. The base of the paperweight is ground and polished flat with no visible maker’s marks or signatures. The decorative ceramic orb is finished in a matte, textured, light gray-blue speckled glaze. The underside of the piece contains a recessed circular stamp bearing the marks GLOE, 1989, and FINCH.
Condition report:
The art glass paperweight is in overall very good condition with minor shelf wear and light scratches consistent with age on the underside of the base. The ceramic orb is in good condition with minor surface scuffs and small dark marks visible on the body.
