About the Item

Eva Zeisel (1906-2011) was one of the most renowned Industrial designers of the 20th century with over 10,000 designs to her credit, though many were not put into production. Primarily known for ceramics, Zeisel did designs for other mediums such as glass and wood. In 1995 Zeisel was asked to submit some of her designs that had never been produced for limited production runs by the Orange Chicken Gallery in NYC. One of those designs was this candle holder known as the "Baby bottom" candleholder. Urban Glass Atelier in Brooklyn, NY was selected to produce this object in a limited edition of 50, making these extremely rare designs by Eva Zeisel. The object measures 4.25" tall and 4" wide, and as each is handblown, no two are identical. It is signed with etched signature to base, "E. Zeisel." Soft human like curves are a motif in Zeisel's best designs and became a signature style for her. The soft flowing lines and natural curves are a hallmark of her designs going back to earliest work and are representative of her design aesthetic.

Handblown Vase with Custom Stand by Nancy Freeman, 1979
By Nancy Freeman
Located in South Charleston, WV
Produced by American studio artisan Nancy Freeman of the Catskills Mountains of New York, 1979 signed and dated. Measures 8" tall and 6" wide and deep. Exquisite ribbons of reds and orange color run through the vase and reminds one of the Charisma Series for Blenko. This urn vase has a purposeful bulge on the bottom where the signature is, and this is where the handcrafted Stand comes in with its hole below allowing the glass bulge to enter, thus it prevents the glass from tipping over. The Stand is custom-made by Freeman for the vase from wood and is likely mahogany. A very unique piece from the artist. It is unique and makes an excellent designer decor...
