Bob Crooks is one of the UK’s leading modern glass blowers and his works have been exhibited at many international events as well as having a loyal following in the UK.
The vase is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows some age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with use.
The vase has been blown in blue glass with the top section blown in clear glass trailed with green, the two sections being joined using the incalmo technique The blue section has been frosted to the external surface. The top rim measures 17.2 cm (6.9 inches) by 7.3 cm (2.9 inches) and the circular base measures 5.5 cm (2.2 inches) in diameter and carries Bob’s signature to it around the pontil mark. The vase measures 28.3 cm (11.3 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration.
