Vase

This glass vase was designed by Andries D. Copier and made by Koninklijke Nederlandsche Glasfabriek of Leerdam in the Netherlands in 1964.

The vase is made of colourless, blue and blue-green glass with a band of chain design. It has the diamond-engraved marks 'Leerdam Unica C.K168 o' and 'A.D. Copier.'

Andreas Copier, born in 1901, joined the Leerdam glassworks in 1914 and continued to design and produce avant-garde works at the factory until he was in his eighties. Some of the early pioneers of the American Studio Glass movement came to study with him in the late 1960s, as did British artists of the following generation. He invented a number of new techniques and was one of the first to experiment with non-functional free blown shapes as early as 1958.
