Hobnail and Ribbed Clear Glass Bud Vase with Scalloped Rim

This is a clear glass bud vase, designed to hold a single flower or small cluster. It stands on a circular, footed base. The lower half of the body features a distinctive 'hobnail' pattern, characterized by numerous small, raised, rounded nubs that create a tactile and visually textured surface. Above the hobnail section, the vase transitions into a ribbed or paneled design, where the glass appears to have vertical indentations or fluting. The upper rim of the vase is irregularly shaped and scalloped, giving it a somewhat organic or ruffled appearance. The glass itself is transparent, allowing light to pass through and refract. The construction suggests it is molded glass, indicative of a mass-produced item. While specific manufacturing details like maker's marks are not visible in the provided images, the style often points to mid-20th century production. The condition appears good with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear. The clarity of the glass is excellent, suggesting it has been well-maintained. Its delicate form and textured surfaces indicate a decorative rather than purely utilitarian purpose, aiming to enhance the display of a floral arrangement. The craftsmanship is typical of pressed glass, with a clean and consistent form.
