Artist’s Co-op Hand Blown “Peacock Feather” Art Glass Vase — 20" Tall, Signed

An exquisite example of contemporary American studio glass, this Artist’s Co-op hand-blown vase captures the mesmerizing iridescence of a peacock feather in molten form. Rising an impressive 20 inches high, the vessel features cascading ribbons of teal, emerald, cobalt, and smoky plum, each layer drawn and pulled with expert precision to create fluid, organic striations within the transparent body. The design evokes motion and depth—colors seeming to drift and shimmer as light passes through.

The base is hot-stamped “Artist’s Co-op – HAND MADE – U.S.A.” and polished to a glossy pontil, signifying authentic studio craftsmanship rather than mass production. This distinctive mark links the piece to the long-standing tradition of American artist cooperatives—independent glass studios founded in the late 20th century to support artisans creating one-of-a-kind works outside commercial factory systems. While similar in palette to Cyan Design’s retail “Peacock Feather Vase” (SKU 02920), this example is a true handcrafted original, made and signed in the United States rather than a mass-market import.

Additional Notes
The “Artist’s Co-op” hot stamp denotes a cooperative studio network active in the U.S. since the late 20th century, which marketed hand-crafted pieces made by member glassblowers under a shared label. These works were typically sold through regional galleries and fine décor retailers, emphasizing unique coloration and hand-finishing. Because each was individually blown and finished, no two examples are identical, even within the same pattern family.
