Purple Art Glass Pumpkin Signed BAGI 2001 Bay Area Glass Institute San Jose CA

Description: Due to the increase in volume of packages being shipped through the US Postal System, shipping times have occasionally been longer than those estimated by either eBay or the USPS tracking tool. Mouth blown Art Glass pumpkin, purple speckled with green curly stem, created in 2001 and signed (BAGI), the Bay Area Glass Institute in San Jose, California. Mixed in with the purple speckled glass are a few small areas of autumnal tones of russets/burnt oranges and yellows. This glass pumpkin measures just over 3" high overall.The pumpkin body is about 3.5" wide,and the widest point of the pumpkin and curly vine togethermeasures about 4.5" wide. There are no chips, cracks, or repairs. The very end of the curlyvine is slightly rough, but as you can see in photos #14 and #15,this is from the shearing/cutting of the glass, and not a chip or break.Care must be taken with this small end of the vine as it rests against the body of the pumpkin, but is NOT attached to the side of the pumpkinat the end (like it is at the other two points of contact of thecurls to the body of the pumpkin). There are a few faint scuffs on the side of the pumpkin which are hard to see unless you know where to look for them undera bright light (I think these were probably from the tools used toform and handle the hot glass pumpkin and vine as it was created).I have shown these in the final photo.
