Hand-Blown Teal Bluen Glass Baluster Vase

This is a large, hand-blown glass vase featuring a deep teal or aqua blue hue. The piece is characterized by a prominent globular body that tapers significantly toward a narrow, flat base and extends upward into a wide, flared neck with a thick, rounded rim. The construction displays classic artisan glass-making signs, including visible vertical seam-like ridges on the neck and subtle undulations throughout the glass surface, indicating it was likely mold-blown or hand-finished. The material is transparent, though it possesses a heavy, substantial aesthetic typical of mid-20th-century decorative glassware. There are visible inclusions such as small air bubbles (seeds) within the glass, which are characteristic of hand-crafted artisan production rather than industrial mass manufacturing. In terms of condition, the piece shows surface reflections but no immediate cracks or large chips are visible in the photograph; however, light scuffing and shelf wear on the bottom are expected for a piece of this age. The style is reminiscent of mid-century modern Mexican recycled glass or Scandinavian art glass from the 1960s-1970s. The thickness of the rim suggests high durability and quality craftsmanship.
