Mid-Century Murano Style Art Glass Vase

This is an art glass vase, strongly reminiscent of mid-century Murano glass, featuring a vibrant and dynamic swirled pattern. The body of the vase is primarily composed of various shades of brown, amber, orange, and white glass, intricately swirled together to create a molten, organic appearance. The color distribution gives it a tortoise-shell or tiger-stripe effect with underlying golden hues. Its physical characteristics include a fluted or ribbed body, giving it a textural, undulating surface that reflects light beautifully. The top rim is distinctly ruffled and pulled outward, forming an irregular, wavy edge that is cased in an opaque white or milky-white glass, offering a stark and elegant contrast to the colorful body. The craftsmanship appears to be hand-blown glass, indicated by the organic shape and the swirling patterns which are typical of lampworked or blown glass techniques. While no specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image, the style and coloration point towards Italian art glass, potentially Murano, from the mid-20th century. The vase appears to be in good vintage condition, with no immediate visible chips, cracks, or significant damage. The surface has a high-gloss finish, suggesting it retains its original luster. Minor surface wear consistent with age and handling might be present but is not overtly apparent. The quality indicators suggest a well-executed piece of decorative art glass, designed to be a prominent display item.
