Art Deco Style Amethyst Glass Bud Vase

This item is a slender, hand-blown bud vase featuring a deep amethyst or black amethyst glass coloration. The piece exhibits a classic Mid-Century Modern or late Art Deco aesthetic, characterized by its elongated, organic form that tapers slightly toward the neck before flaring into a soft trilobed or scalloped rim. The base of the vase is constructed with a thick 'sham' or weighted glass bottom, providing both structural stability and a pleasing optical depth that showcases the clarity of the material. In terms of color, the glass appears almost opaque black in lower light but reveals a rich, translucent purple hue under direct illumination. The surface appears to have a high-gloss fire-polished finish. While no specific maker's marks are visible in the photograph, the style is reminiscent of Scandinavian glasswork or American manufacturers such as Blenko or Viking Glass, likely dating from the 1950s to 1970s. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks, though typical shelf wear on the bottom surface would be expected for a vintage item of this age. The craftsmanship is evident in the uniform wall thickness and the smooth transition of the teardrop shape.
