Blown Glass Spatter Vase

This is a hand-blown art glass vase featuring a classic ovoid or amphora-like body with a tapered base and a wide, flared rim. The piece is characterized by a periwinkle or lavender-blue base glass, heavily decorated with an internal 'spatter' or 'confetti' pattern of elongated flecks in shades of golden-yellow, amber, and olive green. This mottled effect is likely achieved by rolling the molten glass bubble over crushed colored glass (frit) before blowing. The construction displays a thick, clear glass base, indicating a substantial weight and quality of material. The neck is gracefully sloped, leading to a smooth, finished rim. While specific maker's marks are not visible in the image, the style is reminiscent of mid-to-late 20th-century studio glass or high-quality decorative imports, possibly from Murano, Italy, or a similar art glass tradition. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant surface abrasions. The glass possesses a high-gloss finish, reflecting light evenly across its curved surface. The craftsmanship is evident in the uniform distribution of the colored inclusions and the symmetrical form of the vessel.
