Correia Signed Ltd Edition Art Glass Black Etched Modern Geometric Paperweight

Pre-owned, signed and 1984 limited edition (76 of 100) cased and etched art glass paperweight with geometric designs. Hand Signed by Steve Correia, the 3" sphere with flat bottom reads: 1984 Limited Edition WEGA 76/100 Correia. Interesting modern, native american-style geometric design on raised black gloss glass over a black matte background, a combination which Correia used repeatedly during the 1980s on vases, plates and this paperweight. In very good condition, with no cracks, chips and just a few wear marks on the edge of the glossy bottom due to use. A distinctive and interesting piece among many multicolored and transparent art glass paperweights out there.

Steve Correia started his small art glass studio in 1973 and Correia Art Glass is still located in Santa Monica, California. The artists at Correia Art Glass take great pride in expertly blending time-tested old-world glassblowing techniques and craftsmanship with the advantages offered by modern technology. His works quickly gained popularity within the art world when his sister Patricia Correia introduced them to upscale retailers and art museums. Correia's exquisitely beautiful art glass perfume bottles, vases, paperweights, bowls and lamps are now highly sought after by collectors around the world. Correia Art Glass holds the distinction of having works in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Chrysler Museum of Art and the Corning Museum of Glass.
