Orange and Clear Glass Bud Vase

This item is a slender, hand-blown glass bud vase, characterized by its vibrant orange-red hue in the body, transitioning to a clear, colorless glass at the top rim. The vase features a tall, elongated neck that flares slightly at the very top, forming a somewhat ruffled or organic opening. Above this opening, there appears to be an applied piece of clear glass, perhaps a decorative finial or a functional loop for hanging, although its exact purpose isn't fully clear from the image. The body tapers gracefully from a wider, stable base to the narrow neck. The base itself is slightly bulbous and shows some evidence of the glass-blowing process, possibly with a pontil mark or flattened area where it rested during cooling, though this is not clearly visible in the provided image. The color variation, with the intense orange fading into clear, suggests a 'cased' or 'flashed' glass technique or a deliberate color melt during production. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, indicative of artisan or studio glasswork rather than mass production. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear on the surface, suggesting it is in good overall condition. Given its style, it likely dates from the mid-20th century to contemporary, possibly within the Art Glass movement. The unique applied clear element at the top distinguishes it from more common bud vase designs, adding a potential element of collectible interest.
