A HAND-MADE Peter Goss vase engraved to the base, Peter Goss / PSG 10/85. (I’m pretty certain the 85 is the year of production- 1985 and the 10 is the month- ie. Oct 1985). Peter Goss is known as a leading Australian glass artist and the first glass artist to set up a studio in Queensland. He originally trained at the Jam Factory in Adelaide when Sam Herman was creative director (from 1974 to 1977). He then went on to set up the Paraison Glass Studio (PSG) in 1981 at Tewantin (near Noosa, Queensland). I love the free-flowing essence of all of Peter Goss’ work. It’s obvious his pieces have come from the hands and hearts of a PERSON and are not mass-produced by machines. I also love the feeling this piece evokes in me. This one has an almost Gothic feel. It is quite dark in colouring overall but still has the multi-coloured look that Goss Glass is renowned for. It’s Gothic but fun at the same time- is that even possible?? Peter Goss wrote around 2014, “I finished blowing glass in 1991 because the financial strain became too much. It used to cost me $1,000 a month to run the studio in gas back in those days! I am currently retired and enjoy painting in water colour, drawing in pencil, and am in the process of writing a children’s book for 10 to 12 year olds entitled The Amazing Adventures of Tin Lid.” “The works of Peter Goss are prized when they come onto the market,” (taken from an online message board on art glass). Google, ” Peter Goss Glass ” and if you dig a little, you’ll see some amazing pieces of work by this talented Australian artist. This is certainly one to be passed from one generation to the next. There are very few better ways to invest in your home and reduce landfill. (See the note in bold above. This piece is currently valued at $189 in iNVISeDGE but has been priced at $139 to give our buyer a really strong investment.) 2410
