Lot 162: A Collection of Turquoise and Green Aventurine Art Glass

A collection of four pieces of decorative art glass, unified by a turquoise-blue and green colour palette with gold-tone aventurine-style foil inclusions. The group includes a stylized seahorse sculpture featuring internal dark green swirls and gold flecks set on a circular base. A heavy-walled organic bowl with a multi-lobed rim demonstrates a sommerso technique, transitioning from a clear glass outer casing to a vibrant turquoise interior with yellow and green flecks throughout the base. A bulbous vase tapering to a flared rim shows heavy, mottled inclusions of green and gold-flecked foil, creating a marbled effect within the turquoise glass. The final piece is a small, solid-cast penguin figurine in matching turquoise glass with internal bubbles and aventurine inclusions.

A small white rectangular adhesive label is present on the front of the bowl, bearing the printed text SHELBYS AUCTIONEERS LOT 162 01132502626. A second small white label is attached to the shoulder of the vase, however, the handwritten characters on this label are not legible. No other marks, signatures, or etched maker’s names are visible on the bodies or bases of the items.
