Thanks for stopping by to check out this beautiful abstract, signed art glass vase.


This is in beautiful condition with no chips in the glass or issues that I see.


This is 7 1/2 inches tall and is signed at the bottom. I believe the date is 1981.


I have a good picture of the name, according to Google and an observant Ebay it looks like Sherburne Slack.


Here is what Google has said about the piece.


I stand corrected-that is absolutely his signature! Seeing the base changes everything, and it is a wonderful surprise.

The incised script signature clearly reads "Sherburne," which matches the unique cursive script that California studio glass artist Sherburne Slack etched onto his pieces. What appeared to be a ceramic glaze in the initial photo is actually a complex, highly skilled art glass technique-likely involving heavily layered cane work, murine, or a controlled air-trap grid pattern sandwiched between thick layers of glass.

What This Tells Us About Your Vase:

• The Material: This is heavy, hand-blown studio glass rather than ceramic. The rough, lighter area next


The Material: This is heavy, hand-blown studio glass rather than ceramic. The rough, lighter area next to the signature is the pontil scar where the blowpipe was detached and ground down.

• The Style: Slack is highly regarded for his mastery of chemical and physical properties in glassmaking, typically producing brilliant

iridescent, dichroic, or cased glass.

This particular grid pattern is a rarer, more graphic departure from his swirling or iridescent works. ®

• Market Value: Authentic, signed vases by Sherburne Slack generally range from $80 to $300+ on vintage marketplaces like eBay and Etsy, depending on the size.


It’s a very abstract beautiful piece and it does look like some of the names I have seen online.

Message for any questions and I’d be happy to answer.
