Modernist Black and Red Slotted Glass Vase

This item is a contemporary art glass vase featuring a tall, cylindrical body with soft, lobed vertical fluting. The piece is constructed from opaque black glass with a high-gloss, mirror-like finish that reflects light and nearby surroundings. It is strikingly accented by thin, vibrant red glass threads—likely applied using the latticino or trailing technique—which spiral subtly from the rim and follow the recessed vertical channels of the fluting down the length of the vessel. The vase features a slightly tapered base and a flat, narrow mouth rim highlighted by a final ring of the red accent glass. The craftsmanship displays high quality with smooth transitions and uniform color saturation. Estimated to be late 20th-century or early 21st-century modern design, possibly of Murano or Scandinavian origin. Condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant abrasions on the surface, though the base likely shows minor shelf wear consistent with age. There are no immediate visible maker's marks in the image, but the precision of the stripes suggests a skilled glassblower's hand.
