Amber Glass Finial Appraisal

Large Amber Glass Finial/Vase

The item is a large, decorative amber-colored glass finial or vase, approximately 21 inches in height as indicated in the context. It features a rich, translucent amber hue throughout, giving it a warm, inviting appearance. The form of the piece is symmetrical with a prominent, round, bulbous body tapering upwards into a more intricate neck and finial-like top. The base is also rounded and fluted, providing a stable foundation and echoing the decorative elements of the top. The glass appears to be blown or molded, with visible reflections indicating a smooth, glossy surface. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or significant abrasions visible from the provided image, suggesting it is in good to very good condition. The overall design suggests a mid-20th century aesthetic, possibly from the 1960s or 1970s, reminiscent of Italian art glass or large decorative American glass pieces. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures from the image. Its substantial size and elegant form suggest it could have served as a standalone decorative accent on a pedestal or floor, or perhaps as a large vase for very tall arrangements, though the opening at the top appears narrow, leaning more towards a decorative finial or bottle. The quality of the glass appears consistent, with good clarity and color saturation, indicating a well-made piece of decorative glassware.
