Hand-Painted Ruffled Art Glass Vase

This is a small decorative vase crafted from hand-blown clear glass, featuring a distinctive ruffled or Crimped pink-rimmed top. The vessel exhibits an ovoid body that tapers down to a flared, pedestal-style foot. It is decorated with a vibrant, folk-art style hand-painted motif. The primary colors include a palette of pastel blue, mint green, and reddish-pink. The upper body depicts blue floral roses, while the mid-section is adorned with a series of wavy green horizontal bands intersected by vertical pink stripes, creating a grid-like pattern. The foot is decorated with vertical blue teardrop strokes. The glass itself appears thin, consistent with mid-20th-century decorative glass production. The construction shows vertical ribbing on the neck and base, likely produced using a mold-blown technique before manual finishing. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the image, but the style is reminiscent of mid-century Murano or Bohemian export glass from the 1950s-1970s. The condition appears fair to good; there are no obvious chips or cracks visible on the rim or body, though some minor paint loss and surface grime are present, particularly around the painted bands on the body. The craftsmanship is charmingly irregular, indicating artisanal hand-finishing rather than mass industrial automation.
