This is a classic Aquarium piece that is so iconic from James Nowak.

He has done something very different here by making a low flat vessel instead of one of his more usual forms. The piece is made even more unusual by the addition of a clear glass applique to one side of the exterior.

The piece is quite heavy and has a lot of presence, but the elements also give it an amazing lightness.

The colors are glorious, with a dark tone base glass which allows a multitude of Nowak's signature elements to really POP as the radiate over the exterior surface. An incredible assortment of elements comprise mostly cool tones in blues, greens, and lavenders, with just a bit of red to make it all pop, The white interior adds more depth and really makes the elements stand out. The clear glass applique, which resembles an elongated scallop shell, and twists and bends the elements below it, makes the piece even more interesting.

The piece is signed by Nowak, but he has signed it with the name of the piece, rather than with his actual signature.

Its unfortunate that Nowak did not add this form to his regular production, as it is truly gorgeous, but by only producing a couple of these prototypes does mean this piece will remain very unique.

Two very beautiful clear glass spun platters by James Nowak. These look almost like delicate soap bubbles, with their dichroic overlays, and undulating shaping.

They are early works by Nowak, and each is signed, with its own unique serial number.

One is rounded with a depression at the center, and a subtle abstract design in the base glass, which is beautifully set off by the dichroic overlay. It looks almost like an ethereal soap bubble.

The second is scalloped with a radiant dotted pattern arrayed from the center. Again, the dichroic overlay turns the piece into something really incredible.

Both have dark tone lip wraps.

These pieces are difficult to photograph because their beauty is so subtle, but rest assured, they are even more incredible than the photos allow us to show. Stands are not included.

Size: Each is approx 14" tall and 7" widest diameter.

Price (or make offer): $375.00

A very interesting experimental concept by James Nowak. Here he has taken his iconic Fishermans Float form, and be elongating the globe and adding a vase, created a very unique vase. Wonderful shaping , with the spherical float being drawn up elegantly to a very small opening at the top. A solid glass pedestal base is added.

The colors are medium Moss Green, light Celadon Green, and deep Cobalt Blue

These pieces are very whimsical, but in a controlled way. The colorations of the group as a whole balance each other in a wonderful way. Fantastic displayed as a grouping together, but each would also be lovely displayed on its own. Purchase them all, or make an offer on just one piece in the group.

Pair of Large Dichroic Matched Vases by James Nowak



The Piece you are currently viewing is: Pair of Large Dichroic Matched Vases

Artist:James Nowak

Signed: Each signed Nowak 05

Approx Size: 12" and 14" tall, both 7" diameter

Price (or make offer): $475.00

Shipping Western US: 150.00 Eastern US: 180.00


This gorgeous matched pair of vases is stunning displayed together. The colors jump and vibrate, and the shaping is classic and lovely. The body of each vase features a combed overlay of dichroic glass with slight texturing. The large lip flanges and wraps are perfect foils for the subtle sparkle of the dichroic bodies. Substantial and with great presence, they also have a surprising lightness.

These pieces are a wonderful set, but each would be a fantastic addition to any collection as a solo piece.
PLEASE NOTE: The smaller rust colored vase does have a slight rough bubble area in the body of the piece, not readily noticeable and very small (1/4"), but it is there, so I am noting it.
