Mid-Century Modern Hand-Blown Fazzoletto-Style Art Glass Vase

This is a hand-blown art glass vase featuring a dynamic 'fazzoletto' (handkerchief) style construction, characterized by its dramatic undulating rim and flowing silhouette. The piece is crafted from heavy art glass with a sophisticated aventurine or marbleized finish, blending tones of creamy white, tan, and warm sandy browns. The colors are swirled in a fluid, organic pattern that mimics natural stone or textured silk. Physically, the vase stands on a rounded, weighted base and rises into four distinct flared peaks that drape outward, creating deep 'valleys' and structural openings along the sides. The interior appears to be a solid opaque cream, providing a clean contrast to the textured exterior. In terms of condition, the glass maintains a high gloss with no visible chips, cracks, or significant surface scratches, though light shelf wear may be present on the underside. This Mid-Century Modern style is indicative of the 1960s or 1970s and shares aesthetic qualities with Murano glass production or high-quality American studio glass from that era. The craftsmanship is evident in the symmetrical yet organic folds and the seamless integration of colors, suggesting a highly skilled glassblower.
