Description
Stunning square fused art glass bowl by artisan Keith. This contemporary piece features a deep black base highlighted by a brilliant square of multi-colored dichroic glass in the center that shifts colors in different lights. The outer border consists of elegant black and white marbleized swirl slumped edges. Perfect as a centerpiece or a decorative valet tray.
Key Features
Handmade artisan status, high-end dichroic glass material which is expensive to produce, and a neutral yet bold black/white color palette that fits modern decor.
Authenticity Indicators
Verify the 'Keith' signature, usually etched on the bottom corner or center. The weight and thickness of the fused layers are high-quality indicators. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface 'flea bites' or light scratches on the bottom from placement are common; ensure there is no cloudiness or 'devitrification' on the surface.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy. Etsy is preferred for handmade artisan glass; eBay is better for a quicker auction-style sale to glass collectors.
Selling Tips
Photograph this item against a dark or neutral background with a light source that hits the center of the bowl to show off the 'shimmer' of the dichroic glass. Use keywords: Studio Glass, Fused, Dichroic, Handblown, Contemporary Art Glass.
