This is a sweet vintage piece of Isle of Wight Glass. It takes the form of a small squat decorative vase. The Azurene wares were first designed by Michael Harris in collaboration with William Walker in 1978.
It is made of Royal Blue glass with the exterior decorated with random gold foil accents. It comes from the Azurene range and is a unique hand-blown piece.
My wee piece of Azurene dates to the 1980s and has a vintage black triangular sticker on the side, near the base.
The glassworks was founded in 1973 at St. Lawrence, Isle of Wight, England by Michael Harris and his wife Elizabeth. He had previously co-founded Mdina Glass in Malta - but Isle of Wight Studio Glass was a separate venture established after his return to the UK. Some pieces produced at Isle of Wight Studio Glass in the 1970s did share designs and colorways with earlier works created at Mdina Glass.
It measures 3 3/4 inches in diameter and has a height of 2 inches. It weights 970 grams unpacked.
It is in excellent vintage condition with no damages of any kind. I have taken lots of images for your inspection. Any bright white lines on my photographs are not on the glass - but has just bright reflections on the glass surface.
These early Isle of Wight vases are keenly sought after - and my one is listed at a fair price for this fine piece of British Art Glass. A nice addition to your British studio glass collection.
