Swirled Stripes Vase Appraisal

Modern Glass Vase with Swirled Stripes

This is a contemporary glass vase with an ovoid or egg-like shape. It measures approximately 9.5 inches in height and 7 inches at its widest point. The vase is constructed from white opaline glass, providing an opaque, milky white base color. The surface is smooth and appears to have a high gloss finish, indicative of polished or fire-polished glass. The decoration consists of applied or embedded glass threads or canes in vibrant colors: teal, light blue, and green. These colored lines are applied diagonally, swirling around the body of the vase from top to bottom. The stripes appear to be randomly spaced and of varying thicknesses, adding a dynamic visual element. The top rim is simple and appears to be fire polished. The base is slightly narrower than the body, providing stability. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant signs of wear readily apparent in the image. The glass appears clean. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible on the exterior of the vase in the provided image. The overall style is modern, possibly dating from the late 20th or early 21st century, reflecting a simple, yet decorative approach to glass art. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with uniform glass thickness and smooth application of the colored stripes.
