Fluted Rim Vase Appraisal

Fifth Avenue Crystal Fluted Vase with Column Capital Rim

The item is a clear glass vase with a decorative etched or molded pattern on its exterior surface. The vase has a distinctive shape, with a wide mouth featuring a scalloped or curved rim resembling the capital of a classical column (specifically, it appears to mimic an Ionic or Corinthian capital). The body of the vase is cylindrical or slightly tapered, adorned with vertical flutes that create a rhythmic pattern around its circumference. The base is not fully visible in the image. The glass is transparent, allowing light to pass through and highlight the molded details. A sticker is present on the upper portion of the vase near the rim. This sticker is predominantly white with black lettering and reads "FIFTH AVENUE CRYSTAL LTD". Beneath this, smaller text appears, suggesting details of origin or material, possibly "MADE IN CHINA" or similar, though the full text is illegible from the image. The presence of the original sticker suggests the item is either new, unused, or has been very carefully preserved. The overall condition visible appears to be excellent, with no apparent chips, cracks, or significant wear. The craftsmanship, particularly the molding of the column-like capital and the consistent fluting, appears to be of a decent commercial quality, typical of mass-produced crystal or glass items from the late 20th or early 21st century.
