Hand-Blown Apple Green Swirl Art Glass Vase

This is a substantial hand-blown art glass vase, measuring approximately 12 to 13 inches in height. The piece is crafted from a transparent apple green glass featuring an internal white swirl or 'latticino' style decoration that spirals diagonally around the body. The form is characterized by a wide, flared rim that tapers into a short neck, which then expands into a bulbous shoulder before narrowing down to a weighted base. A notable manufacturing feature is the presence of a rough, unpolished pontil scar on the bottom, indicating traditional off-hand glassblowing techniques rather than mold-pressed production. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or labels. The glass contains small seeded bubbles and minor striations consistent with artisan craftsmanship. While the style evokes Mid-Century Modern aesthetics, particularly Italian or American studio glass from the late 20th century, the lack of a polished pontil often suggests a more contemporary or utilitarian studio origin. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks, though the rough pontil remains as a sharp, unrefined element of its original construction.
