Cased Spatter Glass Ruffled Vase

This item is a bulbous-bodied art glass vase featuring a prominent ruffled or 'pie-crust' rim. The piece is constructed using a cased glass technique, where an inner layer of opaque white milk glass is fused with an outer decorative layer. The exterior exhibits a 'spatter' or 'splatter' effect, characterized by mottled inclusions of pastel pink and soft yellow colors against the white ground. The vase has a high-gloss finish, typical of Victorian-style art glass. Physically, it features a rounded shoulders tapering down to a modest pedestal base and an elegant flared neck. There are no immediate visible maker’s marks or signatures in the image, suggesting it may be from an unattributed manufacturer such as those active in the mid-20th century or a reproduction of earlier 19th-century Victorian cased glass (often referred to as 'End of Day' glass). The condition appears to be good with no apparent chips or cracks visible on the rim or body, though light surface scuffing and shelf wear on the base are common for glass of this type and age. The craftsmanship displays a uniform ruffling and a balanced application of the spatter colors.
