Mid-Century Ribbed Orange Glass Bud Vase
Decorative Arts / Art Glass

Mid-Century Ribbed Orange Glass Bud Vase

This item is a slender, hand-blown or mold-blown glass bud vase featuring a vibrant, opaque orange exterior with a contrasting white interior (cased glass). The vase stands with a classic ovoid body that tapers significantly at the neck before flaring outward into a wide, elegant trumpet-style rim. The primary decorative feature is a consistent vertical or slightly diagonal ribbing pattern—often referred to as 'optic rib'—that wraps around the entire swell of the body, providing both tactile texture and visual depth through light reflection. The interior rim appears to be finished with a clean, possibly fire-polished edge. While the specific maker is not visible in the low-resolution image, the style, color palette, and cased glass construction are highly indicative of Mid-Century Modern glasswork, likely originating from Scandinavia (e.g., Holmegaard or Aseda) or Italy (Murano) between the 1950s and 1970s. The condition appears fair to good; there is a visible sheen indicating a high-gloss finish, though light reflections on the surface make it difficult to determine if there are minor surface scratches or interior water stains. No major chips or cracks are immediately apparent on the flared rim or base, which suggests careful preservation of the glass integrity.
