RAREEARLYONE OF KIND - UNIQUEJOSH SIMPSONFREE BLOWN GLASSHANGING SIAMESE FISH TANK - BOWLSCULPTURESIGNED AND DATED 7/75I SHIP WORLDWIDEATTENTION UK AND NON-US BIDDERS: Please note that if you are following my sales on a regular basis you should log onto the Ebay U.S.A. site rather than the site in order to see the complete selection of auction items I have listed at any given time. For some reason the Ebay U.K. site filters from view the posting of sales by U.S. sellers containing the names of some of the better and more highly collectible English and German porcelain companies. I don't know why this is, however, I do ship worldwide so you are welcome to bid on any of the items.Offered in this sale is a rare early piece of signed free blown Josh Simpson glass that was made by the artist in July 1975. It is signed and dated by the artist with an etched mark that reads SIMPSON 7/75 which you can see illustrated in the 2nd image. From what I understand this was originally designed as a HANGING SIAMESE FISH TANK. Although Simpson apparently did make a number of these, since each is entirely free blown, it is unique and consequently one of kind. It measures roughly 12" tall x 6" in diameter. The color of the glass is a very, very faint aqua green - not quite crystal clear (see 2nd, 4th & 7th images which were shot in natural light). The amorphic shape of this piece makes it a work of art unto itself. As you can see in the images in displays nicely in an upright position. It would look spectacular on a glass shelf with focused lighting. The condition is excellent. Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail and condition. Please feel free to email with any questions or if you would like any additional close up images. I always guarantee everything that I sell to be as described. This piece is being sold WITHOUT A RESERVE as long as there is an opening bid. High bidder to pay $8.00 shipping/ including insurance - inside the United States.
