Cobalt Blue Glass Vase with Hand-Painted Floral Decor and Ribbed Base

This is a cobalt blue glass vase, likely of a commemorative or decorative nature, given the visible '100 YEARS' sticker on its neck. The vase features a flared rim, a gently tapering body, and a distinct ribbed lower section that adds texture and visual interest. The base is rounded and smooth, transitioning from the ribbed body. The dominant color is a rich, saturated cobalt blue, which is consistent throughout the glass. The upper portion of the vase is adorned with hand-painted floral motifs in shades of white and light blue, with delicate gold or metallic accents outlining some of the petals and providing small dot details. These floral patterns appear to be applied on the surface, suggesting an enamel or fired-on paint technique. A thin gold band separates the hand-painted smooth upper section from the ribbed lower section, and another gold band encircles the foot of the vase. The craftsmanship appears to be good quality, with attention to detail in the hand-painted elements. The design suggests a decorative piece, possibly from the mid to late 20th century, given the style of decoration and the commemorative sticker. There are no immediately visible signs of chips, cracks, or significant wear, but a slight accumulation of dust is present, particularly around the rim and within the ribbed sections, suggesting it has been on display. The sticker, partially visible, indicates a centennial celebration, which could relate to the manufacturer or a specific event. The overall impression is elegant and visually striking due to the contrasting blue glass and light floral patterns with gold highlights.
