Crackle Glass Bottle Vase with Ruffled Rim

Description

Bulbous crackle glass bottle vase in a vivid red-to-orange hue, blown with a bulbous oval body that tapers into a slender neck and flares out to a ruffled, hand-shaped rim. The crackled surface texture catches light across the entire body, giving the glass a fractured, ice-like appearance typical of mid-century decorative glassware.

The vase has a pontil mark visible on the underside, consistent with hand-blown production, and shows a pinched or dimpled indentation on one side of the body, a decorative detail rather than a flaw. No maker’s mark or label is visible in the photographs. The wavy, free-form lip is asymmetrical, a hallmark of hand-finished glass rather than machine pressing.

The piece is in solid overall condition with no chips or cracks noted. Some small surface specks and light residue marks are visible near the base, along with minor embedded debris within the glass consistent with age and the crackle-forming process rather than damage.
