Art Glass Ruffled Bowl or Vase

This item is an artistic glass vessel, likely a small bowl or vase, characterized by its distinctive ruffled or crimped rim. The glass exhibits a compelling play of colors, primarily white and various shades of amber and light brown, which appear to swirled and integrated within the glass matrix, suggesting an opalescent or alabasterine effect. The base of the vessel transitions to a more saturated, rich amber tone, potentially indicating a varied glass composition or a technique such as cased glass, though without better views of the cross-section, this is speculative. The form is organic and free-flowing, with the upper edge terminating in irregular, undulating folds that create visual interest and a sense of movement. The surface appears smooth and glossy, reflecting light. The craftsmanship suggests hand-blown or artisan-made glass, as evidenced by the irregular shape and the seamless color blending. There are no visible chips, cracks, or repairs in the provided image, indicating it is in good, if not excellent, condition. The style points towards mid-20th century to contemporary art glass, possibly Murano or studio glass, given the artistic manipulation of color and form, although no specific maker's marks are visible. The quality of the glass appears high, with good clarity in the lighter areas and rich saturation in the amber sections, suggesting skilled glassworking.
