A. D. Copier Leerdam Unica Number 20 with Antimony Crackle Art Glass Vase, 1930s

About the Item

Introducing a rare and extraordinary A.D. Copier Glass for Leerdam Unica, showcasing a mesmerizing tin crackle inside effect that captivates the eye and stirs the imagination. Signed on the bottom, this piece bears the distinguished mark of Andries Dirk Copier, the revered Dutch glass artist hailed as one of the most important figures in 20th-century glassmaking. Copier's innovative spirit and mastery of technique are evident in this Unica piece, which stands as a testament to his pioneering approach to glass artistry. Inspired by the latest technical discoveries of his time, Copier pushed the boundaries of traditional glassmaking, experimenting with tin crackle effects, enamel powders, and free-formed bubbles and ribs to create truly unique and groundbreaking designs. His Unica pieces, including this remarkable example, have earned him international acclaim and cemented his legacy as a visionary in the world of glass art. Introduced in 1925 as 'Leerdam Unica,' these experimental glass objects represent a milestone in the evolution of glass as an art form, laying the groundwork for the Studio Glass Movement that would follow. With its rarity, historical significance, and exquisite craftsmanship, this A.D. Copier Glass for Leerdam Unica is not merely a decorative object—it is a tangible piece of art history, a reflection of Copier's innovative spirit and the transformative power of glass as an artistic medium. As such, it is a valuable addition to any discerning collector's repertoire, representing not only an investment in beauty but also in the enduring legacy of a true master of glass art.
