Yellow Optic Ribbed Glass Vase

This item is a large, hand-blown glass vase featuring a vibrant, translucent yellow or amber-gold hue. The vessel is characterized by a prominent optic ribbed or 'swirl' pattern that runs vertically along the rounded body, creating a textured surface that catches and refracts light. It features a wide, flared rim with a thickened edge and a cinched neck that transitions into a bulbous mid-section before tapering down to a narrow base. The glass appears to have a slightly irregular, 'hammered' or bubbly interior texture consistent with mid-century art glass production. While no maker's marks are immediately visible, the style and color are highly indicative of the Mid-Century Modern era (circa 1960s-1970s), reminiscent of pieces produced by companies such as Blenko, Kanawha, or Viking Glass. The condition appears fair to good with no visible cracks or large chips; however, there is noticeable surface shelf wear on the bottom and potential internal water staining or 'sick glass' cloudiness common in vintage utilitarian glassware. The height appears to be approximately 8 to 10 inches based on surrounding shelf items. The overall craftsmanship shows thick-walled construction, suggesting durability and quality mass-production from the mid-20th century.
