Item description:
This is another wonderful piece from our Dutch modern art glass collection that we are offering for auction--a very beautiful large rose bowl in cranberry color, hand-blown by Dutch art glass maker Sybren Valkema, 1916-1996.  It is signed on the bottom by Valkema, after which is inscribed "Penland 86", then a circle with a "K" inside. The bottom is smooth. See photos (we were unable to get a clear photo of the bottom of the bowl).
Glass artist Sybren Valkema was known for his blown glass sculptures, decorative vessels, windows and utilitarian objects. He studied at Kooningliijke Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten and at Gravenhage, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education. Valkema was an artist of firsts in the European glass world. A teacher and co-director of  Amsterdam´s Gerrit Rietveld Academy from 1943 to 1981, in 1965 he was the first to construct a European glass furnace for art studios and in 1969 established the first hot glass studio in a European art school at the Rietveld Academy. He was also a glass designer for Royal Leerdam  from 1948 to 1967 and again in from 1971 to 1982.  In the latter period he produced works for Leerdam´s  "Unica" ("Unique") line. Valkema was an instructor of Design and Aesthetics at the Leerdam Glass School from 1943 to 1953. After 1981 Valkema was a guest artist at several glass studios, including Ann Wolff´s studio at Stenhytta, Transjö, Sweden; Essener Glasstudio in Essen, Germany; Atelier de Verre, Sars Poteries, France;  Crystalex in Nový Bor, Czechoslovakia;  Littleton Studios and Gary Beecham Studio in Spruce Pine, North Carolina and at Studio Wilke Adolfsson in Orrefors, Sweden. Valkema´s own studio was located in Blaricum, Netherlands. Sybren Valkema´s works in glass can be seen in many public collections in Europe, including the Musée du Verre, Liège, Belgium; Museum Bellerive, Zurich, Switzerland; Kunstsammlungen der Veste Coburg, Germany; Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf, Germany; Glasmuseum Frauenau, Germany; Glasmuseum Immenhausen, Germany; Glassmuseum Ebeltoft, Denmark, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, France; Victoria and Albert Museum, London, England and in the Netherlands at the Nationaal Glasmuseum in Leerdam and the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen in Rotterdam.  In the United States Valkema´s glass has been collected by Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York; Elvehjem Museum of Art, Madison, Wisconsin; Penland School of Crafts, North Carolina and the Pilchuck Collection in Stanwood, Washington.
