A stunning and unique, signed STEUBEN crystal sculpture designed by Peter Yenawine circa 1972. Solid and heavy crystal, weighing 3.3kg... An absolute collectors piece. Sits on a black rotating stand and is titled "Circles". Each side has five carved circles and and from every angle it is simply amazing. Has a flat bottom so sits perfectly on stand. Signed 'Steuben' to base and in original large red presentation box marked "Steuben Glass". Crystal is in fantastic condition - the rotating base has some surface wear. Height in total approx. 18cm. Incredibly heavy - weighs approx 3.3kg and 5kg in the box. Needs to be seen to be fully appreciated!!!
