Henry Summa (1949-2008) Helix Early Work Vintage Art Glass Sculpture Cut Away Paperweight

Henry Summa was an early second generation studio arts movement pioneer. We're happy to offer this piece, one of his earlier pieces, within a year of his move to his second studio in New Mexico. 

Summa began working hot glass in 1972, apprenticing with Glory Hole Glassworks, and opened his first studio in upstate New York. After two years he moved his operation to its permanent home in New Mexico.  Summa specialized in murrini, the thin threads of fragile glass that he used to decorate his sculptures and tableware. He developed a series of faceted paperweights, platters and vessels, with extensive cutting and polishing.

Piece measures 5 1/2 inches tall, about 3 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches deep. 

Condition is excellent any fine scratches cannot photograph and none particularly deep and none detract from piece as you can see from the pictures. excellent condition signed bottom I have taken several photographs it is hard to photograph but is evidently present

For other vintage studio art glass, mid mod bar ware, elegant glassware, fine crystal stemware, studio pottery, as well as vintage lighting see our listings.

Cheers!

We pack for safety, seldom does damage in shipping occurs, due to changes in USPS claim policies if an item is damaged the purchaser must drop bring the item to the local post office. If damage occurs we will work with you to make sure you have everything you need to file a claim, and you will receive a check within two weeks. If we file the claim the denial letter goes to us after 30 days, then you will still need to drop the item at your local USPS, and then wait for two weeks for the check to be issued to us, and then wait for the check to clear before we release your funds. We've tried it the other way of issuing a refund with evidence of photos, and had customers not bring the item to the local post office - we no longer allow an automatic refund if shipping damage occurs.
