Mid-Century Ribbed White Milk Glass Vase

This is a vintage milk glass vase, characterized by an opaque white color and a distinctive architectural form. The vessel features a bulbous, onion-style base decorated with vertical ribs or fluting that tapers upward into a long, slender neck. The most striking element is the flared, over-folded 'handkerchief' or ruffled rim, which provides a dramatic silhouette. Based on the construction and styling, this piece is likely a mid-20th-century American production, typical of manufacturers like Fenton or Westmoreland. The glass appears to have a semi-glossy finish. There are no visible chips or cracks in the low-resolution image, though typical signs of age such as 'shelf wear' on the bottom or minor production impurities in the glass might be present upon close physical inspection. The craftsmanship is indicative of mold-blown glass techniques where the rim was hand-finished to create the fold. The piece stands as a classic example of Mid-Century Modern decorative arts, functioning both as a utilitarian flower holder and a standalone sculptural object.
