Mid-Century Ribbed Turquoise Glass Bud Vase

This item is a decorative glass bud vase featuring a vibrant turquoise or aqua blue hue. The vase is constructed from mold-blown glass and displays a distinct melon-style or paneled ribbing that runs vertically along the body. Physically, it features a wide, bulbous base that tapers into a slender, elongated neck before flaring slightly at the rim. The transparency of the glass allows for light transmission, highlighting the uniform coloration and the thick, sturdy base. There are visible vertical mold lines consistent with mass-produced mid-to-late 20th-century glassware, likely intended for florist use or home decor. The craftsmanship reflects a utilitarian but aesthetically pleasing design characteristic of the 1960s or 1970s. Regarding condition, the piece appears to be in good vintage state with no visible cracks or major chips at the rim; however, there are faint signs of internal 'water scaling' or mineral deposits near the bottom of the vessel, which is common for used glassware. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the current view, which is typical for items of this style produced by companies such as Anchor Hocking or Hoosier Glass. The overall quality is standard for commercial decorative glass, making it a classic example of Mid-Century Modern accent ware.
