Hand-Blown Art Glass Sculptural Vase

This is a hand-blown art glass vase featuring a complex, multi-tonal design and an applied decorative handle. The piece is constructed with a bulbous base that tapers into a long, slender neck and flares out at the rim. The color palette is vibrant and earthy, transitioning from a moss-green mottled base to a translucent midsection, and concluding with a bright amber-orange mouth. Swirling dark brown or black glass filaments are applied throughout the surface in a vine-like pattern, adding a sense of movement and organic texture. A distinctive feature is the thick, clear glass handle that is applied to the side, wrapping around the body in a sculptural, coil-like fashion. The vase exhibits common characteristics of mid-to-late 20th-century studio glass, likely dating from the 1970s to the 1990s. The craftsmanship is evident in the fluid lines and the integration of internal colors with external applications. While no visible maker's mark is present in the image, the piece shows high-quality glasswork with no apparent chips, cracks, or significant surface scratches, though minor shelf wear on the bottom and small internal air bubbles (seeds) typical of hand-blown production may be present. The overall style is reminiscent of Murano or Scandinavian studio glass traditions, emphasizing organic forms and bold color contrasts.
