Hand-blown glass vase with applied red coil

This is a small, handcrafted glass vase featuring a globular body and a short, slightly flared neck. The primary color of the body is a deep, translucent emerald green. Wrapping around the exterior of the bulbous body is a contrasting vibrant red glass coil or trailing, wound spirally from just below the neck down toward the base. The construction shows characteristics typical of free-blown studio art glass, with minor irregularities in the thickness of the applied red trailing and subtle bubbles trapped within the green matrix, which are consistent with traditional glassblowing techniques. There is no visible maker's mark or signature discernible from the image provided. The item appears to be in good overall condition with no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible in the photograph, though surface wear cannot be fully ruled out without physical inspection. The style is suggestive of mid-century modern or contemporary studio glass production, possibly referencing Italian or Murano-style techniques of applied glass decoration. The identification is based entirely on visual observation of the form, materials, and decorative elements, and the piece remains unauthenticated.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, this small studio art glass vase displays features characteristic of mid-century modern or contemporary free-blown glass production, notably the deep translucent emerald green body and the applied vibrant red glass coil. I can't verify from a photo whether the piece has internal signatures or specific maker attributions, as no visible marks are discernible. A physical inspection would be needed to confirm glass density, pontil mark characteristics, and to fully rule out surface wear, hidden chips, or repairs. My value estimate of $150 to $300 assumes the attribution to Murano-style studio glass production is correct. General market demand for small, decorative studio art glass with applied trailing remains steady among collectors of mid-century decorative arts, though pieces lacking a clear signature or documented provenance typically trade at the lower end of the market. To support a higher valuation or to clarify authorship, one would need in-person examination by a specialized glass expert, verification of any elusive marks, and provenance documentation. If this item turns out to be a modern reproduction, replica, or simply made 'in the style of' without specific studio attribution, the value would likely decrease to the $50-$100 range, reflecting purely decorative rather than collectible studio value.
