Ribbed Metallic Glass Decorative Vase

This decorative glass vase features a pronounced globular body with vertical ribbing that provides a rhythmic, textural surface. The vessel transitions into a tall, cylindrical neck topped with an out-turned, flat rim. Its most striking feature is the interior metallic finish, likely a mercury-style or sprayed-on metallic coating, which gives the piece a muted gold or champagne-colored sheen through the clear glass exterior. Construction appears to be press-molded glass, characteristic of modern mass-produced decorative wares. The condition shows visible signs of wear with significant degradation and mottling of the internal metallic coating, resulting in a speckled or 'foxed' appearance that may be intentional for a 'shabby chic' aesthetic or a result of moisture exposure. There are also visible surface scratches on the exterior glass. No maker's marks or signatures are visible in the photograph, suggesting a contemporary provenance from a retail home goods manufacturer. The style reflects 21st-century eclectic interior design trends, mimicking vintage silvered glass techniques.
