A finely executed contemporary studio art glass spinning top, hand-blown with an elegant tapering form and richly decorated with encased ribbon cane decoration. The clear crystal body is infused with dramatic cobalt blue, white, lavender, emerald green, yellow, and red spiral bands that sweep concentrically around the body, creating a mesmerizing optical effect from every angle. The elongated clear stem rises from the center of the balanced conical form, while the polished pontil and expertly finished surfaces demonstrate quality studio craftsmanship. Whether displayed as a sculptural object, paperweight, or functional spinning top, the piece captures the playful interaction of movement, light, and color that has become a hallmark of contemporary American studio glass. Its bold palette and dynamic swirling decoration evoke the aesthetic of celebrated studio glass artists while remaining a striking decorative object in its own right. An engaging addition to any collection of contemporary art glass, paperweights, or hand-blown decorative objects.

  • Circa: Late 20th to Early 21st Century
  • Condition: Excellent overall condition. No chips, cracks, repairs, or other visible damage observed. Presents exceptionally well with only minimal evidence of handling consistent with careful ownership.
