1970s Robert Fritz Iridescent Art Glass Vase

This beautiful iridescent vase has hues of purple, green and yellow that appear skin-like or to have a crackle effect, but the surface of the majority of it is smooth. The center section has a little more texture to it with the same luminous coloration. The bubbles in the glass add to the elegance of this piece.

This stunning art glass vase is one of a kind and a great opportunity to begin or build your collection.

Signed by the artist on base: “FRITZ”.

Robert C. Fritz (1920 – 1986) was an American ceramics and glass artist and professor in California.

His glass art masterpieces can be found in the Smithsonian, Renwick Gallery and the private collections of Ted Kennedy, Tom Harkin, Ron Wyden and more throughout the U.S., Europe, and Japan.
