Clear Glass Swirl Ribbed Bud Vase

This item is a clear glass ribbed vase, likely intended as a bud vase or small decorative accent. It features a flaring, slightly scalloped rim that widens from a narrower neck. The body of the vase is characterized by a distinctive swirl or helix pattern formed by prominent vertical ribs that twist around the circumference. These ribs create a dynamic visual effect, suggesting movement and refracting light in an interesting way. The base appears to be solid and sturdy, with the swirling pattern continuing down to anchor the piece. The glass is transparent and colorless, showcasing its inherent clarity. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps evident in the provided images. The manufacturing technique suggests it was likely molded glass, given the uniformity and crispness of the ribbed pattern. Visible condition appears to be good with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear. There might be minor surface abrasions consistent with gentle use or display, but these are not discernible at this resolution. Without clearer views of the base, it's difficult to determine any specific age, but this style of molded glass vase with a swirl design was popular from the mid-20th century onwards, often seen in mass-produced decorative glassware. Its craftsmanship suggests a functional yet decorative piece, designed for everyday use or display.
