Ribbed Clear Glass Cylindrical Vase

This item is a clear glass vase featuring a distinct cylindrical form with a series of horizontal ribs encircling the entire exterior body. The object is constructed from thick-walled glass, providing a substantial weight and optical clarity. Stylistically, the horizontal ribbing or 'coiled' effect suggests a Mid-Century Modern or Art Deco influence, potentially dating from the mid-20th century to late 20th century. The rim is slightly flared with a rounded, smooth fire-polished edge. In terms of condition, there are visible surface scratches and minor abrasions consistent with regular use, particularly around the rim and the base. The glass contains small air bubbles (seeds) and some internal striations, which are characteristic of mass-produced molded glass rather than high-end hand-blown crystal. No prominent maker's marks or signatures are visible in the current view. The piece displays a slight greyish-yellow tint common in older soda-lime glass formulas. The ribbing provides a tactile grip and creates a play of light and shadow, which is the primary decorative element of this functional vessel.
