This is a stunning Hand Made Art Glass pear in Cobalt Blue. I believe it was produced as studio glass all though it could have been one of the West Virginia Glass houses that were active from the 1950's to through the 1980S.
It is in excellent condition with no damage and minimal wear to the base. It has a polished pontil area but it was not ground flat so the glass"tail" is present.
It has a panel optic and the panels taper from the base toward the top. The are quite a few seed bubbles in the glass and some of the are very close to the surface which gives part of the pear almost a textured feel. There is some roughness at the stem end.
It measures 3 1/2" tall. I do not know the age.
