Pair of Art Glass Bud Vases with Applied Rigaree

This pair of art glass bud vases displays character common in mid-20th-century decorative glassware, possibly originating from the Murano region or influenced by it. Each vase features a bulbous base that tapers into a long, slender neck with a flared rim. The first vase exhibits a striking bicolor design with a vibrant red neck transitioning into a frosted, white-mottled base. The second vase showcases a more complex polychrome pattern with swirls of light green, teal, and brown integrated into the glass. A notable feature of both pieces is the presence of applied 'rigaree' or clear glass scroll decorations along the sides of the lower body, indicating hand-finished craftsmanship. The glass appears to be of moderate thickness with visible internal variations characteristic of hand-blown techniques. While no specific maker's marks are visible in the image, the style aligns with late 1950s to 1970s art glass. Their condition appears generally good with no major cracks or chips visible on the main bodies, though light surface scratches and typical shelf wear on the bases are expected. The application of the clear scrolls is symmetrical but shows the organic variations of flame-worked glass.
