Just found out he is in Mexico for years , he stopped making glass in Vt 2006 he has a facebook page now, he called these Black Trout I posted this now for his facebook page
So glad to hear about this fabulous artist, I assumed he was still working away in Vermont producing beautiful works of glass. I'm glad to hear he is in Mexico.
I have two pieces of artist Goldfarb's work. Both pieces have the "prunts" ..the little protrusions on the glass for better grip(something he was influenced by from glass from the Middle Ages). Happily, I purchased these two amazing pieces from a Florida thrift store for less than $8.00 for the two. Obviously, the thrift had no idea as to the worth of these amazing glass works-of-art. One is a large beaker and the other is a two handled vase- both have the ash glass glaze, prunts and are signed on the bottom.
I will submit photos if anyone is interested..
This is truly beautiful
