Henry Summa Sommerso Helix Sculpture, American Studio Art Glass
By Henry Summa
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Graphic art glass sculpture or paperweight was created with intertwining blue glass spiral coil helixes and controlled bubbles core fused in clear glass layer in sommerso technique. The sculpture has triangular shape with slightly elevated base and soft, rounded edges; the minimal shape of the piece allows the bold flow of the pattern to take the center stage.
The vase is signed and dated by the artist in etching on the bottom; it is in good vintage condition with minimal, age-appropriate signs of use on the bottom. Rare, hard to find example of New Mexico studio glass would make a great gift to any studio glass or art collector.
Henry Summa (1949-2008) has been working in glass since 1972. His early training in the glass arts was based on an apprenticeship at renowned Glory Hole Glassworks in New Mexico. Canyon Road Studio, known then as Glory Hole Glassworks, was owned by Peter Vanderlaan...

Henry Summa Sommerso Helix Vase, American Studio Art Glass
By Henry Summa
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Graphic art glass vase was created with intertwining spiral coil helixes in dark red and pale-yellow glass fused in clear glass layer; the clear glass is encasing the deep, complex blue glass core in sommerso technique. The placement of helixes in clear glass layer creates an unexpected play of light and shadows, adding depth and definition to the piece. Minimal shape of the vase allows the bold flow of the pattern to take the center stage.
The vase is signed and dated by the artist in etching on the bottom; rare, hard to find example of New Mexico studio glass would make a great gift to any studio glass or art collector.

Salviati Murano Sommerso Blue Over Cobalt Italian Art Glass Giraffe Sculpture
By Luciano Gaspari, Salviati
Located in Kissimmee, FL
Beautiful, and large, vintage Murano hand blown Sommerso light blue over cobalt blue Italian art glass giraffe figure sculpture. The piece is documented to the Salviati company, circa 1960s. It is published in "The Glass Ark" book on Murano glass animals. The piece has a well detailed head, with floppy ears and "ossicones" (the parts that look like horns on the head). The body itself is very minimalistic and streamline. The giraffe is also made with some Uranium / UV reactive glass, as It glows neon green under a black light (see photo). Would make a great display piece on any desk, credenza or side table. Mid-century era. Measures 11 1/8" tall x 5 1/4" long x 2 1/2" wde.
