Beautiful hand-blown studio art glass float by Ocean Beaches Glassblowing of Seal Rock, Oregon, attributed to glass artist and studio founder Bob Meyer.
This substantial glass orb features a gorgeous transparent teal-blue / ocean blue-green color with dramatic free-flowing raised and recessed designs wrapping around the surface. The sculptural pattern gives the piece wonderful movement and depth, changing considerably as it is viewed from different angles.
The base bears the molded Ocean Beaches Glass/Seal Rock, Oregon studio identification. The glass is also artist-signed near the base
Bob Meyer founded Ocean Beaches Glassblowing on the Oregon Coast and became particularly known for his hand-blown glass floats, bowls, and vases, emphasizing color and the fluid qualities of molten glass.
Includes the black metal display stand shown in the photographs.
Approximate measurements:
Glass orb: 6-inch diameter Overall height on stand: 9 inches
The rich blue-green glass is especially striking in natural or directed light, where the varying thicknesses and sculpted surface create beautiful shifts in color and transparency.
A wonderful piece of Oregon Coast studio glass and an excellent addition to a collection of contemporary American art glass, hand-blown glass floats, coastal decor, or Bob Meyer / Ocean Beaches Glass.
