Contemporary Cobalt Blue Art Glass Vase with Root and Floral Inclusions

This is a contemporary art glass vase with a vibrant cobalt blue ground color. The vase is cylindrical in shape, slightly tapering towards the base, and has a finished rim. Embedded within the glass are complex, organic forms in shades of brown, black, and red, resembling tangled branches or roots, interspersed with what appear to be stylized floral or aquatic life elements. One prominent feature is a bright yellow and white oval form near the top, suggesting a flower or perhaps an abstract sun or organism. The overall design creates a sense of depth and movement. The glass appears hand-blown, indicated by potential variations in thickness and the intentional irregularity of the internal design elements. The quality of craftsmanship appears high, with clear incorporation and layering of the different glass colors and forms. There are no visible condition issues such as cracks, chips, or significant wear. The surface appears smooth and glossy. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the image. Based on the provided context of being from a private gallery over 20 years ago, the estimated age is late 20th to early 21st century, placing it within the contemporary art glass period. The dimensions are provided as 13.75 inches in height and 6.25 inches in diameter.
