Hand Blown Ruffled Edge Vase, Europe, 1960's

A charming and lively hand blown glass vase with a ruffled, fluted rim and a pinched waist encircled by a twisted amber glass thread, the body a warm amber and white mottled glass that pools and swirls beautifully throughout. The piece flares at the base and tapers to the ruffled opening, giving it a tulip-like silhouette with considerable decorative verve. A light and playful object with a strong handmade quality, typical of mid-century European art glass traditions.
