This arresting studio glass bowl showcases a luminous, oil-slick iridescence that shifts brilliantly across its feathered surface. The interior glows with a vibrant gold aurene finish, while the exterior features a complex "pulled feather" motif in contrasting white and amber tones. Its low-slung, flared silhouette and expertly scalloped rim give it a dynamic, organic presence that captures and refracts light from every angle.
Attribution & Period
by Robert Eickholt (Eickholt Glass), 2015.
The signature on the base corresponds to the renowned American glass artist Robert Eickholt, specifically dated 2015. Eickholt is celebrated for his "Eickholt Glass" studio work, which frequently utilized precious metal oxides to achieve this distinct, high-lustre iridescence. This piece was created in the final year of the studio's production (1978–2015), making it a significant example from the conclusion of his storied career.
Dimensions & Weight
Condition
Clinical and excellent. No chips, cracks, or repairs are present. The iridescent surface retains its original mirror-like finish without fading or clouding. Minor, superficial shelf-wear scratches are noted on the base, which is consistent with its age and does not affect the display quality of the piece.
Authenticity & Construction
A masterwork of American studio glassmaking, this bowl was hand-formed using the "pulled feather" technique—a method pioneered by Tiffany Studios and refined by contemporary masters like Eickholt. The base is diamond-point signed "Eickholt 2015," confirming its provenance. The heavy-walled construction and substantial 1.9 lb weight are indicative of the artist's premium "Gold Aurene" series.
Placement
This bowl functions as a high-impact sculptural accent on a dark-wood console table or within a glass-fronted vitrine with integrated lighting. Its iridescent qualities make it a perfect companion for Contemporary, Hollywood Regency, or Art Nouveau-inspired interiors.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
