Up for bid are four smoke colored wine glasses designed by Andries Dirk Copier, who worked for the Glasfabriek Leerdam factory in the Netherlands. According to my research, Andries Copier created these glasses around 1927 and were part of his Peer design series, which featured thin glass stemware with bowls that resembled a pear, along with octagonal bases. Two of the glasses measure a little less than 5 1/4 inches tall and hold about 5 ounces of liquid, while one measures 4 7/8 inches tall with a fat bowl and holds 10 ounces of liquid, and the last one measures about 4 5/8 inches tall and holds about 8 ounces of liquid. All four have the Copier acid etched mark under the base. One of the glasses has a very tiny fleabite on one of the points on the base. (See photo). Other than that, they are in very good condition with no chips or cracks. They would make a great addition to your A. D. Copier glass collection.Andries Dirk (A.D.) Copier The Netherlands 1901 - 1991Andries Dirk Copier (1901-1991) is considered the most important Dutch glass artist of the 20 th century . Copier's work was influenced by the most recent tech nical discoveries, resulting in personal contemporary de signs. Early in his car eer he was appointed as designer at the Leerdam Glas fabriek (Leerdam Glassworks), where he was given the opportunity to experiment. To gether with his team he discovered a wide range of techniques for both utility and one-off ' Unica ' pieces, such as the use of tin crackle effects, enamel powders, and free formed bubbles and ribs. His designs for util ity glass, such as the ' gildeglas' , are still in production. His Unica s brought him international fame. Introduced in 1925 as 'Leerdam Unica ', these experimental glass objects are regarded as the predeces s ors of the Studio Glass Movement and show glass as an art object in its own right.Please understand that many of the items I sell are purchased at estate sales and auctions.
