Hand-Blown Amethyst Art Glass Trumpet Vase with Polka Dot Design

This item is a decorative trumpet-style glass vase featuring a deep amethyst or cranberry purple hue. The vase stands approximately 10 to 12 inches tall and is constructed from blown glass with a tapered, conical body that flares slightly at the rim. Its defining aesthetic characteristic is a pattern of opaque white, hand-applied polka dots or 'coin spots' scattered across the exterior. The piece transitions into a clear, circular pedastal base which provides stability to the slender form. The glass demonstrates a rich translucency, typical of mid-century or late 20th-century art glass. Close inspection suggests it may be hand-finished, evidenced by the slight irregularities in the dot placement and the fluid transition from the colored body to the clear base. The overall condition appears fair to good, with some visible water spotting or mineral residue on the exterior surface that may require cleaning. There are no immediate signs of chips or cracks in the photograph, though the frosted appearance near the base suggests potential calcification from use. The style is reminiscent of Victorian cranberry glass revivals or 1950s-1970s studio glass. The craftsmanship shows a balanced proportion and a vibrant use of color, making it a functional yet highly decorative piece of glassware.
