Cobalt Blue Glass Trumpet Vase with Ribbed Clear Glass Spiral Trim
Art Glass / Collectible Glassware

Cobalt Blue Glass Trumpet Vase with Ribbed Clear Glass Spiral Trim

This is a hand-blown trumpet-style bud vase crafted from deep cobalt blue glass. The piece features a slender, elongated conical body that flares slightly at the rim. A distinct decorative element consists of a clear glass ribbon with horizontal ribbing or 'rigaree' texture that spirals around the base of the blue vessel. The vase is supported by a circular, flat blue glass foot, which suggests stable construction but shows some surface wear. Physically, the item appears to be roughly 8 to 10 inches tall. The craftsmanship displays characteristics of mid-20th-century art glass, though no specific manufacturer marks or signatures are visible from the overhead angle. The condition shows significant damage: there is a large, sharp crack or fracture visible on the upper left side of the blue body, which severely impacts the structural integrity and aesthetic value. Light surface scratches and minor abrasions are visible on the base. The glass quality is good with a rich, uniform color saturation, although the visible crack is a major detractor. The style is reminiscent of Scandinavian or Italian (Murano) influence from the 1950s-1970s.
