Scott Beyers and Bruce Sillars (American, active 1972 to present). Orient & Flume Art Glass Vase. Signed "Beyers and Sillers – Orient and Flume" with "P0120d25315P" on the underside of the foot. A striking hand-blown Orient & Flume art glass vase by Scott Beyers and Bruce Sillars. The vase boasts a tall conical body that rises from a generous foot and is decorated with three blooming irises presenting striated petals of pink and magenta with yellow centers as well as long leafy stems delineated in various shades of green, against a mottled yellow and white ground that shimmers with rosy pink iridescence. The interior is green with marvelous iridescence; the foot is sapphire with just as marvelous iridescence, and the rim as well as the borders of the foot are so iridescent and luminous that their hues change in an almost chameleon manner. Size: 5.75" in diameter at the mouth x 13.3" H (14.6 cm x 33.8 cm)
