Beautiful Art Glass Vase with Purple Wave Pattern, Signed Vasart, 20th Century

About the Item

A vivid pale green and pink art glass vase with swirling purple wave pattern Of convenient bucket shape. To the base is the raised button pontil typically found in Vasart. A highly collectable piece. Signed Vasart, Scotland. The Vasart glass factory, originally named Ysart Bros, was founded in 1947 by three brothers, Vincent Ysart, Augustine Ysart, and Salvador Ysart. Their range of glassware was named Vasart glass, the VAS part being created from the brothers initials of their forenames. One common Vasart colour scheme used a lighter shade at the bottom of the piece with a darker one towards the top. At the point where the two joined, swirls were added in one or more contrasting colours. On the best examples of this type, the swirls are regularly worked and very distinctive. In the early years, the Ysarts often used pieces of cane around the centre of vases where the upper and lower colors met. Sometimes the canes are clearly recognisable, but they usually appear as vague splashes of color.

  • Composition with a Figure by Teddy Millington Drake, circa 1963, Signed
    By Teddy Millington-Drake
    Located in London, GB
    Oil on canvas, Villa Albrizzi - Veneto, 1963 Teddy Millington-Drake (1932-1994) was a nomad, linguist, bon viveur, aesthete and master gardener, but above all an artist. Discharged from service and in part inspired by his sister's anecdotes of her travels abroad, Millington-Drake embarked on a painting tour that took him to Lebanon, Iran, Iraq and Syria. He then rented a house, the Villa Albrizzi at Este, Veneto in Italy, and became a more frequent painter, particularly now of abstract murals. He befriended Freya Stark, a writer and traveler who lived nearby, and in Venice he became friends with Daisy Fellowes, Peggy Guggenheim, Barbara Hutton and Elsa Maxwell. In Este, he painted continually and more boldly, turning his hand to abstract murals. He later transformed a neglected Tuscan farmhouse in the village of Poggio which was co-decorated by his friend the designer John Stefanidis. There were vine-hung terraces and a skillfully landscaped garden. A swimming-pool was built on a shelf cut into the hillside, so that you felt yourself gliding towards the horizon, suspended in space as you swam. There Millington-Drake worked passionately at all forms of painting. There are haunting large abstracts inspired by Jung, hard-edged acrylic wave paintings and some intriguing semi-calligraphic works on paper based on phrases taken from the works of poets such as Cavafy, Mandelstam and Elizabeth Bishop...
