Purple and White Mottled Glass Vase with Bird and Foliage Motif

This is an aesthetically pleasing vase, characterized by its striking contrast of translucent white and a deep, lustrous purple. The vase has a classic, somewhat bulbous body that tapers gracefully towards a flared neck and rim. The upper interior and exterior neck of the vase are entirely submerged in the rich, dark purple hue, which reflects light, giving it a somewhat iridescent or mottled appearance. Below the neck, demarcated by a thin white stripe, the body of the vase transitions into a milky white, semi-translucent glass. Adorning the white body are intricate designs of foliage and a bird, rendered in the same deep purple color. One side features a prominent motif of a bird perched on a branch, detailed with fine lines suggesting feathers and texture, as well as the 'eyes'. On the left side of the vase, there's a detailed depiction of a flowering or fruiting branch, also in purple, extending downwards and around the body. The base of the vase also appears to incorporate purple elements as part of the overall design. The craftsmanship suggests it is a decorative piece, likely art glass. There are no obvious signs of chips or cracks visible in the provided images, indicating good overall condition. The style has a contemporary feel, though it could also hark back to early to mid-20th-century art glass movements. The interaction of the translucent white and the opaque, shiny purple creates an interesting visual depth and texture. The overall impression is one of elegance and sophisticated design, suitable for a decorative accent in various interior styles. The surface appears smooth, and the coloring within the glass rather than applied, suggesting a higher quality of manufacturing.
