Up for sale is a stunning, highly collectible vintage 1981 studio art glass perfume bottle handmade by renowned American glass artisan Robert Eickholt. Founded in 1978, Eickholt's Ohio studio became globally celebrated for capturing ethereal, cosmic designs within heavy, masterfully blown glass using precious metals and rare oxides.
This early 1980s piece showcases a mesmerizing, classic "pulled feather" or peacock-tail plume design. Elegant, dark blue/purple vertical ribbing contrasts sharply against a shimmering gold and iridescent amber-green background that shifts vividly depending on how the light catches it. The bottle comes complete with its matching iridescent, spherical dark teal/black glass dauber stopper.
**Signatures & Markings:**
The underside features a completely smooth, polished pontil base. It is clearly hand-etched with the artist's signature: "Eickholt 1981" along with the design designation "2400".
**Dimensions (Approximate):**
• Height with Stopper: [Insert height here, e.g., 6.25 inches]
• Width/Diameter at Widest Point: [Insert width here]
• Weight: [Insert weight if known]
**Condition:**
Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, flea bites, or internal cloudiness. The glass retains a beautiful high-gloss brilliance and a dramatic metallic sheen. The base shows minor, normal shelf-wear consistent with age. (Please inspect all high-resolution photos closely as they form part of the condition description).
An exquisite addition to any vanity, boudoir display, or fine mid-to-late 20th-century American art glass collection.
