Leerdam - A.D. Copier - Baluster vase - Glass - Tincraquele Sonoor Vaas

This object is an original Sonoor vase with tin craquelé, designed by the famous Dutch glass artist Andries Dirk Copier (A.D. Copier) for Glasfabriek Leerdam. Characteristics of the object: Designer: Andries Dirk Copier. Production: Leerdam 1950. Technique: The craquelé effect was achieved by evaporating tin chloride onto the hot glass. By blowing into an optical mold, this tin layer split into vertical bands. Finish: Thick-walled, clear glass with a broad, flat rim and a narrowed foot. Height 20.5 cm Diameter 16.5 cm With a height of 21 centimeters, this vase belongs to the larger and rarer formats within the 'Sonoor' series. What does this size mean for value? Rarity: Because blowing a thick-walled vase of this size with tin craquelé was technically more complex, substantially fewer large pieces were produced at the time. Value: Where the smaller Sonoor vases often trade between €70 and €120, the market value for a pristine 21 cm example is considerably higher. Depending on condition, the intensity of the craquelé, and the auction channel, larger monumental variants regularly fetch between €150 and €250. The vase has, aside from production-induced minor imperfections, no external scratches, chips, etc.

Estimate:£125.14
