Studio Åhus Sommerso Art Glass Green Apple Hanne Dreutler Arthur Zirnsack Sweden
About the Item
Rare vintage art glass apple sculpture or paperweight by Studio Åhus was handmade in Sweden in 1988 in sommerso technique that originated in Murano, Italy. The core of smoky light green glass with ombre color gradation is submerged inside the clear glass sculpture; the top is slightly textured and accentuated with contrasting stem done in darker green glass. The bright, luminous colors add dynamics to this heavy, substantial piece. The apple is clearly signed with engraved "Studio Ahus Sweden 1988 HD-AZ" on the bottom and the original paper sticker on the side.
Studio Åhus was founded in 1977 by Hanne Dreutler (1942-2009) and Arthur Zirnsack. Hanne Dreutler worked at Målerås and Flygsfors glassworks in 1968-1971 before moving to Kosta Boda in 1971-1975 and meeting Zirnsack there; at Kosta Boda they both worked under Vicke Lindstrand. They married and started their own studio in Ahus in southeast of Sweden; Lindstrand worked at Åhus after retirement from Kosta Boda. Currently Studio Åhus is run by Hanne and Arthur's son Martin Zirnsack and glass artist Lennart Nissmark.
The apple measures 4" high with 3.5" diameter at the widest part. It is in good vintage condition.
