Wire-Wrapped Stemmed Glass with Beaded Accents
Decorative Glassware / Handcrafted Art

Wire-Wrapped Stemmed Glass with Beaded Accents

This item is a clear glass goblet or stemmed glass that has been creatively modified with hand-crafted wire work. The glass itself features a slightly tapered bowl and a traditional flat circular base. The defining characteristic is the extensive wire wrapping made from a thick, silver-toned metal (likely aluminum or silver-plated copper) that originates from a tightly coiled spiral at the stem. The wire extends upward in a whimsical, wave-like or serpentine pattern across the exterior of the bowl. It is embellished with glass marbles or cabochon beads in primary colors: a green bead at the top, a blue bead at the base, and a red bead suspended via a wire loop on the left side, functioning as a decorative charm. The wire construction appears to be artisanal or 'folk art' in style, exhibiting a high level of manual manipulation rather than industrial precision. Condition-wise, the glass remains clear without visible fractures, though the wire shows minor tool marks and surface patina consistent with handled decorative glassware. This piece likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century, falling into the category of boutique home decor or handcrafted glass art.
