Sorensen Faceted Glass Paperweight — Suspended Bubbles, 3" Diameter
A studio art glass paperweight signed Sorensen on the underside, featuring a dynamic interior design of suspended air bubbles surrounding a central teardrop or flame-shaped core. The clear glass sphere is accentuated by a single polished facet on its upper side, offering a window-like view into the dimensional design and enhancing light refraction through the bubble array.
Crafted using the controlled bubble (Bullicante-style) technique, this piece displays precise execution and optical clarity. The base is fully polished and etched with the artist’s name, while the flat facet on the dome allows for alternative display angles. While the artist remains unidentified in major glass directories, the work suggests a skilled independent or regional studio glassmaker, likely active in the late 20th century.
Condition:
Good overall condition with typical shelf wear on the polished base and a few faint surface marks from handling. No chips or cracks.
Dimensions:
Diameter: 3 inches
Weight: 1 lb 5 oz
