Midcentury French Hand-Blown Swirled Art Glass Vase

$375

About

Graceful and sculptural, this tall vintage art glass vase makes a striking decorative statement with or without flowers. Crafted in France circa 1950, the hand-blown vessel features an elongated trumpet form rising from a small circular foot to a dramatically flared mouth.

Vertical swirls and pulled ribs travel along the slender body, creating a fluid sense of movement and emphasizing the skill of the glassmaker. The upper edge opens into an irregular scalloped rim with gently folded points, giving the vase the appearance of a blossoming flower. Softly layered shades of pale pink, icy blue, translucent white, and smoky gray blend throughout the glass, producing subtle variations as the light passes through its surface. The visible handcrafted character and organic form ensure that the vase is decorative from every angle.

Standing almost two feet tall, this elegant midcentury vase would bring height, color, and visual interest to a console, mantel, center table, or dining room buffet. It is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use.

Dimensions: 8.5″ diameter x 22.25″ H
