Vintage Peaked Art Glass, Renowned Glass Artist, Amy Roberts Rare Paperweight, dated 1979

2.9" dia. 1.9" high at the 'peak'. Amy Roberts is a prominent American studio glass artist whose early-career paperweights and glass sculptures from the late 1970s are highly regarded by collectors. She mainly made larger pieces, vases, bowls, sculptures, etc and paperweights by her are less-common and harder to find! Artist Overview & Style-Early Career (1970s): In 1979, Amy Roberts was actively working with Hot Glass, participating in prominent national exhibitions such as the landmark Contemporary Paperweights Exhibition at Habatat Galleries. Aesthetic Focus: Her signature style relies on abstract, minimalist compositions that explore light, texture, and refraction. Unlike traditional 19th-century French floral weights, her 1979 pieces use organic, fluid internal veils, moody color fields, and intentional shadow work. Evolution: She later transitioned into larger mixed-media architectural glass sculptures combining mirror, Plexiglas, and wood. Her work has been prominently exhibited at institutions like the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art and the Pilchuck Glass School.
