Mid-Century Cobalt Blue Asymmetrical Art Glass Vase

This is a hand-formed art glass vase characterized by its deep, vibrant cobalt blue color and striking asymmetrical silhouette. The vessel stands as a tall, slender form with an organic, free-flowing geometry. It features a weighted squared base for stability, which tapers slightly before expanding into a wider, undulating body with pinched or pulled sides. The neck is narrow and ends in a polished, slightly flat rim. Based on the thick glass walls and the clarity of the translucence, this piece appears to be leaded glass or high-quality soda-lime glass. The construction suggests it was mold-blown and then hand-finished, typical of Mid-Century Modern Scandinavian or Italian (Murano-style) glassmaking from the 1960s to 1970s. The surface shows a high-gloss finish with no visible chips, cracks, or large internal air bubbles, which indicates a high level of craftsmanship. While no maker's mark is visible in the photograph, the style resembles that of makers such as Blenko or various Scandinavian art houses. There is a slight patina of dust, but the structural condition appears excellent with minimal surface abrasions or base wear.
