Extreme tall Atomic era art glass hand-blown saucer goblet vase set

SOLD Set of two 18.5" tall hand-blown saucer shape extreme goblet vases.

Flying UFO discs were all the rage in the 1950s and artists of the time reflected the curiosity in their creations.  Disc shaped, alien style decor was very popular.

Hand-blown in 3 parts. Domed foot is applied to the long drawn stem and the large saucer bowl is applied to the stem.  Rounded half moon pontil scar on foot. Heat finished rims.

Made in Italy in the 1940s - 1950s. No maker's mark.  Scarce items...rare as a set.

These beautiful mid-century modern vases look awesome with fern like foliage.  Mouth opening is 4.25" wide.  A 4" pot will fit inside and rest on the rim.  Plants should not be planted directly in the glass. Great as a candleholder (Important note when using new candles in vintage glass:  remove any and all metal from the candle before use).

One is slightly taller than the other (hand-blown glass).  The taller is 18.5" and the other is 18.25" tall. Taller has 1 tiny air bubble.  Shorter goblet has approx 4 tiny bubbles in foot, and 4 tiny bubbles in bowl. Height differences and trapped air bubbles are expected with vintage blown glass). Bowl is 7" at widest, girth of 20.5".  In excellent, original condition.
