Cobalt Blue Glass Hourglass Vase

This item is a decorative vase crafted from translucent cobalt blue glass, featuring a classic waisted or hourglass silhouette. The vase stands approximately 8 to 10 inches tall with a wide flared rim that tapers into a slender mid-section before expanding into a weighted, circular base. The glass possesses a rich, deep blue saturation that appears uniformly distributed throughout the body. Upon close inspection, the piece shows evidence of mold-blown construction, characterized by smooth, consistent vertical walls and a polished top rim. The surface appears generally well-preserved, though minor shelf wear and superficial scuffing are visible near the base, along with faint mineral deposits on the interior suggesting previous use for floral arrangements. There are no immediate signs of cracks, chips, or significant structural damage. While no maker's mark or signature is visible in the photograph, the style and color are consistent with mass-produced mid-to-late 20th-century decorative glassware frequently produced by companies like Anchor Hocking or Libbey. The glass exhibits a high level of clarity with few visible air bubbles or inclusions, indicating a standardized manufacturing process.
