Lot 290
Steven Lundberg/Bob Banford collaborative jewelry jar.
The lid is splendidly decorated with an unencased bouquet of
flowers, including three cabbage roses and four clematis, nestled
on a bed of leaves. The nuanced coloring of the bouquet, including
a warm yellow, Danish blue, and mauvish rose, are all complemented
by the aqua and white swirling ground, which accentuates the
jar's curves. Banford noted it was his first lampwork rose made
in the style of his father, Ray Banford. Signed under the lid
by both artists and dated 1995. "B" signature cane
in the bottom of the jar. Limited edition of 10. (See, p 43,
Paperweight Collaborations: A Celebration of Glass Artistry,
Annual Bulletin of the PCA, 1996.)
Height 4 1/8". $1100-1500 |

Lot 291
Important Venetian antique lampworked six-sided scent
bottle with a single portrait cane; an homage to Saint Mark
in the emblematic "lion." The feline face, with a wide
nose and full mane, is featured with tiny angel wings and an
open book, presumably the eponymous gospel. The cane is surrounded
by blooms of metallic gold and copper aventurine, with swirls
of blue, yellow, white, and black glass. The chatelaine chain
and ring are intact, and the bottle is topped with a hinged metal
stopper inset with a gemstone of colored glass. Unknown Venetian
manufacturer, late nineteenth century.
Height 2 13/16". $900-1400 |
