Featured Correia Art Glass Vase - Interpreting the Information

This is one of the prizes from my purchases from the reseller's treasures. Correia Art Glass is part of the Smithsonian's permanent collection. The studio produced limited editions of certain works, and I am looking for more information this piece. It is is signed Correia. On the bottom edge is "EVC8087 24/200". The other information is "1989 L.E." I'm not sure of the date, but it has to be post 1973, when the studio opened. It is 4 1/2 inches tall. I've seen numerous pieces, but have yet to find one with these playful little fishes. Any help appreciated.

 

I'd think 1989 LE means 1989 Limited Edition, given you've also got 24/200, which would be your vase's number.

 

That’s very helpful. I thought LE was the artist who executed the design. They gave the pieces names I think. I figured if someone recognized the work I could think of it by its name. It’s already in the cabinet.

 

Further theory is that EVC is the artist and 8087 perhaps the pattern?

 

Great. I'll try that.

 

It looks like the EVC is also an inventory number, as this one, which features koi was released the next year EVC 8081 . I can't see the fish on the one on worthpoint, but mine are not koi.

A pattern number also makes sense, Orrefors did that.

 

You solved the mystery. I had been looking for an artist with the initials LE like this guy
