Contemporary Amethyst and Clear Blown Glass Sculptural Vase

This item is a contemporary studio glass sculpture or vase, characterized by its organic, fluid form and dynamic use of color. The piece is constructed from heavy-walled blown glass, featuring a transclucent clear body with deep amethyst or purple glass swirled throughout. The internal texture exhibits a crackled or 'ice glass' finish within the clear medium, creating a complex refractive quality. Physically, the piece stands roughly 10-14 inches tall, tapering from a narrower base into two large, cresting wing-like extensions that curl inward at the top, reminiscent of stylized splashing water or bird wings. The glass isthick and substantial, suggesting high-quality craftsmanship associated with modern art glass studios. While no specific maker's mark is visible in the photograph, the style is consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century or early 21st-century sculptural glass techniques found in Murano or American studio glass movements. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs; however, light surface scratches on the base would be expected from age. The play of light through the textured interior and the rich pigment intensity of the amethyst swirls are primary quality indicators for this decorative art piece.
