This striking sculptural vessel exhibits a commanding vertical presence, defined by its deep, opaque black glass and elongated silhouette. The light interacts primarily with the exterior surface, highlighting a high-gloss luster that emphasizes the object's clean, architectural lines. Its minimalist geometry and substantial polished base create a sophisticated decorative anchor suitable for modern or transitional collections.
Stylistically aligned with Scandinavian Mid-Century Modernism, specifically the 1960s. The combination of a weighted, circular polished base and a slender tapered neck is consistent with the glasswork produced by Swedish and Finnish firms during this era, such as Aseda or Holmegaard. No factory mark was observed; however, the technical execution of the hand-polished pontil point on the underside suggests a high-quality European origin.
Height: 12 inches
Width / Diameter: 1.5 inches (top)
Depth / Base Diameter: 3.25 inches
Weight: .518 pounds
Excellent condition. No chips, cracks, or structural repairs are present. The glass remains clear of clouding or significant surface abrasions. The base features a smooth, circular polished finish with a central swirl point, showing minimal shelf wear consistent with age.
This piece is a hand-blown glass object, evidenced by the unique swirl-finished polished pontil on the base. The thickness of the glass increases toward the foundation, providing both physical stability and a distinct visual weight. This manufacturing method reflects a period of production where manual finishing was essential to achieving a high-end, seamless aesthetic.
The vase serves as a bold monochromatic accent on a minimalist mantle, a sleek executive desk, or an entryway console. Its height and slim profile make it an ideal candidate for grouping with clear or smoked glass vessels to create an architecturally interesting vignette.
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.
