Frosted Glass Maple Leaf Relief Vase

This item is a decorative clear glass vase featuring a prominent frosted or acid-etched relief pattern of maple leaves and intertwining vines. The vase stands as a flared conical form, tapering downward from a wide, circular rim to a weighted, narrow circular base for stability. The exterior is characterized by high-relief botanical motifs where the raised leaves exhibit a matte, frosted finish, contrasting against the transparent, smooth background of the glass body. This textural interplay suggests a late 20th-century production, likely influenced by traditional French crystal designers like Lalique, though it appears to be a mid-market pressed glass piece rather than fine lead crystal. The craftsmanship shows consistent molding around the leaf veins and edges. Visible condition includes some interior clouding or water scaling toward the base, likely from past floral use. There are no immediate signs of large chips or cracks evident in the photograph, though the rim shows minor surface wear. No maker's mark is visible on the primary body; such pieces are often marked on the underside of the base with an etched logo or 'Made in France' stamp if by a known manufacturer like Cristal d'Arques or Mikasa.
