About the Item

Vintage art glass small footed tray or bowl was hand blown with fused light blue glass inclusions radiating from the center, encased in clear glass. The colored glass changes color depending on the angle it's viewed from, switching from blue to yellow; the core is incased in clear glass in sommerso technique. Clear glass glows in UV light, indicating the presence of uranium in the formulation. The tray is clearly signed and dated by the artist in etching on the bottom. Judith Via-Wolff is an established Western New York glass artist, who was working in VIA Glass Art studio in Rochester, NY, in 1980s-1990s.
