    Description

    Mdina Isle of Wight Michael Harris Fish Ax Head Studio Glass. Condition is "Used". This vase I purchased at an estate sale in Essex Fells, NJ 19 years ago in 2002.
    It’s a beauty and looks most like the Michael Harris example used in his book cover ( see photo ). Whenever I see another, I think, “Mine is prettier”,
    There’s the best balance of clear and colored glass, movement and depth and horizontal texture on the outside . It’s mesmerizing.
    There are two small inclusions on the same side of the vase- please see photos- the first is a rough, brown are- almost like it was left unpolished & located near the base- the other is a very small chip on the same side. I never knew either was there until I cleaned the vase prior to photographing it for sale.
    Their are a few scratches on the base- I did remove the felt pads I placed underneath years ago & recommend felt pads be used again, as glass is slippery, and the felt helps secure the SEVEN POUND work of art.
    More pics available on request.
    Will be packed with care.
    Measures: 10” Across x 10.5” high
