This elegant pedestal vase displays a masterful use of glass manipulation, featuring an ultra-thin, delicate wall that rises into a graceful, flared trumpet silhouette. The vessel utilizes a sophisticated casing technique, where a vibrant pale green interior is seamlessly encased in crystal-clear glass, particularly notable in the solid, weighted stem. This interplay of color and transparency, combined with the refined rolled rim, provides a lightweight, airy presence that belies its sophisticated construction. A striking example of mid-century minimalist design, it offers a refined sculptural presence for the discerning collector.
Attribution & Period
Stylistically aligned with mid-20th century Scandinavian art glass production, circa 1950s–1960s. The vessel exhibits the hallmark clarity, thin-walled blowing techniques, and organic, fluid forms associated with this design movement. No manufacturer’s mark is observed; attribution remains visual rather than documented.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 8.75 inches
Width / Diameter: 5.625 inches (opening)
Depth / Base Diameter: 4.5 inches
Weight: 1.056 lbs
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The piece is free of chips, cracks, or repairs. No surface scratches observed. There are minor, authentic air inclusions (bubbles) within the base area, which are characteristic of the hand-blown manufacturing process of this era and serve as markers of its artisanal origin.
Authenticity & Construction
This vase is mouth-blown, evidenced by the uniform thinness of the vessel body and the controlled, fluid transition of the cased glass within the stem. It appears to be constructed as a single gather or skillfully joined during the blowing process, resulting in a cohesive, seamless form. The base exhibits slight irregularities consistent with hand-manipulated glass, reinforcing its status as an individual, non-mass-produced studio object.
Placement
This vessel is an ideal candidate for a curated vignette on a light-filled surface, such as a glass-top coffee table or a window-adjacent console. Its airy aesthetic pairs exceptionally well with teak or walnut mid-century furniture, allowing the subtle green hue and transparency of the glass to catch the light.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE
This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
