Similar piece pictured in Paul V. Gardner, The Glass of Frederick Carder, Plate XV--colored referred to as topaz and Celeste blue.
“Around the 1918-1920 era, Frederick Carder decided to place in production glass items which were similar to the techniques used by Venetian glass artisans for centuries.”
“Venetian traits included folded rims and bases’ hollow stems’ a wafer applied between the base and the stem; ball stems; the application of prunts, handle rings and edges trimmed in a different color from the body of the example; plus the liberal use of silver and gold mica flecks on scarce objects.
“Some typical colors used both singly and in pairs were Amber; Topaz; Amethyst; Marina, Flemish and Celeste Blue; Wisteria; Pomona Green; Verre de Soie; Aqua Marine (an iridized greenish tint); and Cyprian (a pale green iridescence with applied Celeste Blue at the rims).” The Collector’s Encyclopedia of American Art Glass by John A.

- SIGNED WARHOL WATERCOLOR - FERNS & FLOWERS,
SIGNED WARHOL WATERCOLOR - FERNS & FLOWERS, CA. 1958Andy Warhol (American, 1930-1987). Untitled (flowers and ferns) ink and watercolor, ca. 1958. Signed by the artist in black ink below the artwork.

In addition to being signed in black ink below the image, the artist's estate stamp ("The Estate of Andy Warhol") is on the verso, as well as an exhibition label for the Dumont-Landis Fine Art gallery. Size of artwork: 10.875" L x 14.125" W (27.6 cm x 35.9 cm) Size of frame: 12.875" L x 15.875" W (32.7 cm x 40.3 cm)
The subject of this piece is particularly unusual, because Andy Warhol's life and art were more typically focussed on consumer culture, celebrity, and mechanical reproduction. Indeed, Warhol was a champion of the Pop Art movement and responded to mass-media culture like his contemporaries Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, and Roy Lichtenstein. Warhol created masterful silk-screen prints such as his 32 Campbell's Soup Cans (1962), Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley, in characteristic hard edges and a candy-like color palette. "The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do," he once explained. Indeed, Andy Warhol created some of the most iconic images of the 20th century; however, this particular work departs from his usual themes, making it all the more special.
Andy Warhol was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1949 and then moved to New York City to pursue commercial art, working for fashion magazines like Glamour and Vogue. In the 1960s, Warhol rented a studio loft in Midtown Manhattan, famously later known as The Factory. The Factory was a hub for artists, movie stars, and models, who became subjects and inspiration for Warhol's prints and films. In addition, the space served as a performance venue for the The Velvet Underground, an American rock band led by singer/guitarist Lou Reed which Warhol managed. By the 1980s, Warhol was also collaborating with rising artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Following Warhol's death at age 58, due to complications from routine gall bladder surgery, his estate became The Andy Warhol Foundation. In 1994, The Andy Warhol Museum museum opened in his native Pittsburgh. Today, Warhol's works are appreciated throughout the world and may be viewed in major museum collections such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London.
See a similar piece by Andy Warhol in the Minneapolis Institute of Art - Accession Number 2003.228.70. Although the MIA's piece presents the same subject, it is painted with sightly different palette and signed at the side rather than below.
