Mount St. Helens Cobalt Blue Art Glass 1980 Eruption

Collectibles : Decorative Arts : Glass : Cobalt : Carnival : Signed

 

Beautiful cobalt blue art glass piece made from volcanic ash from the 1980 Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption. This unusual piece has a swirled pink, yellow and greenish colored abstract design on the front, and signed on the base with a G which I believe is from the Glass Eye Studio of Washington. There is an artists signature which I am unable to read, possibly B--E along with the date 1980, and a sticker stating Mount St Helens Ash Glass. The top of the piece has a small hole, and a wick can be seen inside, so probably this was intended for use as an oil lamp, although there is no evidence of use. I would welcome more information from any viewer. In excellent condition, with no damage to be seen. Measures approximately 4 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2" high. Please email with any questions. Thank you for visiting Splendors Of The Past!
