Hand‑blown iridescent art‑glass cylinder vase by Lundberg Studios with a rich gold ground and classic pulled‑feather decoration in teal and cocoa outlines. A dark applied lip wrap finishes the flared rim; the foot is broad and stable with a ground pontil. Visually luminous from every angle, this is an elegant, display‑ready example from the studio’s early 1980s production.

Dating and Background Information
Inscribed to the underside "Lundberg Studios 1981" with the studio inventory/model number (as photographed). Lundberg Studios was founded in 1970 in Davenport, California, by master glass artist Steven Lundberg. The studio became nationally known for museum‑quality paperweights and iridescent art glass inspired by Tiffany and Loetz traditions, using reduction and fuming techniques to create the signature metallic sheen. The workshop continues to operate, producing limited, hand‑made works.

Collector Notes
The pulled‑feather motif is among the studio’s most collected patterns, prized for its fluid Art Nouveau look and strong color gradients. Examples over 10 inches in height with crisp feather pulls and even iridescence, like the present vase, are desirable. The intact dark lip wrap and well‑finished foot further support quality.

Decorating Ideas
Perfect on a mantle or étagère where directional light can play across the iridescence. Pairs nicely with brass, walnut, and other warm finishes, and brings a jewel‑tone accent to modern or Art Nouveau‑influenced interiors.

Dimensions
Height: 10 7/8 inches
Width: 3 7/8 inches
Depth: 3 7/8 inches

Condition
Very good. A small superficial mark to the side shown in the close‑up and expected light shelf wear to the base only. No cracks, chips, or repairs observed.
