Ruby Flashed Thumbprint Cut Glass Bud Vase

This item is a decorative glass bud vase measuring approximately 7 to 8 inches in height. It features a cylindrical form with a series of horizontal and vertical geometric facets, commonly referred to as a thumbprint or waffle cut pattern. The vase is constructed from clear base glass with a ruby red 'flashed' or stained application decorating vertical rectangular panels, creating a striking contrast between the deep cranberry hue and the reflective clear sections. The glass possesses a heavy, thick-walled construction, suggesting mid-20th-century pressed or molded production with subsequent cutting or polishing. The rim appears slightly smooth and rounded, while the base shows a flat, polished surface typical of mass-produced decorative glassware from the 1950s-1970s. The condition appears fair to good for its age; there are visible surface scratches and minor cloudiness inside the vessel, which are common signs of use and mineral buildup. A small green price tag is affixed near the base. There are no immediate visible maker's marks or signatures on the body, though the style is reminiscent of American or European commercial glass manufacturers such as Indiana Glass or various West German labels of the mid-century period.
