Full Description

This hand-blown studio art glass vase features a rich honey amber coloration with remarkable internal crystalline feathering suspended within the body of the glass. The organic inclusions create delicate botanical and fern-like formations that appear to float within the form, giving the piece depth and quiet movement.

The silhouette is sculptural and balanced "” a broad shoulder tapering to a narrower base, crowned by a gently flared rolled lip. The proportions are intentional and refined, with the body wider across the center than it is deep, creating a softly compressed profile that enhances its sculptural presence.

The glass exhibits a satin-like surface with subtle density variations, and the base reveals a faint green pooling characteristic of hand-blown studio work. The base is ground and polished.

This piece functions beautifully as a standalone art object, console accent, or focal decorative element in warm organic, transitional, or gallery-inspired interiors.

Unsigned.

Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: This hand-blown studio art glass vase is in excellent vintage condition and presents beautifully.

The glass body is free of chips, cracks, fractures, clouding, or restoration. The flared lip is clean and evenly finished with no edge wear or flea bites. The interior opening is smooth and intact with no signs of impact or chipping.

The base is ground and polished, typical of studio art glass production. There is no pontil roughness. The underside shows minimal, age-appropriate surface contact wear consistent with careful display use. No deep scratches or abrasions observed.

The internal decorative patterning "” often referred to as crystalline feathering or botanical inclusion work "” is fully integrated within the body of the glass and not surface-applied. These formations are the result of controlled studio techniques in which metallic salts, reactive inclusions, or temperature-manipulated crystallization create organic, fern-like structures suspended within the molten glass matrix. The feathering is evenly distributed and intact, with no separation or instability.

Coloration remains rich and consistent throughout, with a warm honey amber tone and subtle green pooling visible near the base "” a natural characteristic of hand-blown studio glass.

There are no visible manufacturing defects beyond minor air inclusions inherent to artisan glasswork. These are considered part of the character of studio-blown glass and do not detract from structural integrity or visual appeal.

The piece is unsigned. Based on form, finish, and internal feathering technique, it is consistent with late 20th to early 21st century American studio art glass production, likely from a small independent studio rather than mass commercial manufacture.

Structurally sound and display-ready.
