Vintage Signed Cut Crystal Vase by Illinois Master Craftsman Kurt Strobach

Description: Vintage Signed Cut Crystal Vase by Illinois Master Craftsman Kurt Strobach Beautiful crystal, this truly elegant, contemporary piece is special. Kurt Strobach of Crystal Lake, Illinois is the glass artist who cuts, carves and polishes blank crystal pieces imported from Europe. It is 5" tall and 6.5” in diameter. This graceful piece is in excellent vintage condition and signed by the artist. This elegant cut crystal vase was finished by Czechoslovakian born "crystal cutter par excellence", Kurt Strobach. Illinois-based master craftsman, Strobach is a fourth generation glass cutter who began his formal glass apprenticeship at age 14. He was trained in Austria using labor intensive Bohemian glass cutting methods developed over several centuries, resulting in sharply cut designs that refract high levels of light and make his art crystal sparkle. Strobach, designated a "official Illinois Artisan" by the Illinois Artisans Program run by the Illinois State Museum, imports high quality lead crystal blanks from European manufacturers and meticulously hand cuts each piece using cold glass techniques in his Crystal Lake, Illinois studio. The artist produces a variety of items including crystal vases, wine carafes, wine glasses and bowls. The cuts have been made with a beveled edge which enables the bowl to pick up and reflect additional light. The vase is signed by the artist, Kurt Strobach. There are a few minor shelf scratches on the bottom, but otherwise in excellent condition. It is 6.5 inches wide and 5 inches tall. I am an amateur photographer and I used a white enclosed photo box.
