Opalescent Fluted Art Glass Vase

This is an elegant opalescent art glass vase, featuring a distinctive trumpet shape with a fluted rim and base. The vase is crafted from glass that exhibits a milky white to pale blue opalescence, particularly noticeable where the glass is thicker or when light catches it from certain angles. The body of the vase is tall and slender, gradually widening towards the top. It is adorned with a textured pattern of vertical ribs or leaves that fan upwards from the base, creating a sense of movement and visual interest. The rim is irregularly ruffled, adding to its decorative appeal and suggesting a handcrafted quality. The base of the vase is circular and stepped, with a repeating pattern of embossed ridges similar to the body's texture, providing stability and a finished look. There are no immediate signs of chips, cracks, or significant damage visible in the provided images. The overall condition appears good, with a natural patina consistent with its likely age as an antique or vintage piece. The style suggests it could be from the Art Nouveau or early Art Deco periods, or a revival piece from the mid-20th century. The opalescent quality and intricate molding indicate a certain level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The lack of visible maker's marks prevents immediate attribution to a specific manufacturer, but the style is reminiscent of glassworks from companies known for opalescent glass.
