Ernest Gordon large 50s or 60s sculptural sommerso vase for Afors

Ernest Gordon was an Englishman who designed for Afors from 1953 to 1963.  This is a large, heavy double sommerso piece.  The lower part of the vase has layers of blue then brown, cased with clear.  The upper part doesn't have the brown layer so the vase changes colour from top to bottom.  It's a tall vase made more impressive by its width at the top.

We have two other pieces of his design for sale:
