Snazzy mid-century art glass fazzoletto vase.

The 'Handkerchief' or 'Fazzoletto' style vase is an icon of postwar Italian glass. Made famous by Italy's great glass artist 'Venini'.
The style was widely popular in the late 1940s to early 1950s and made by many fine glass makers in Italy, America and the Scandinavian (Holmegaard) countries.
This lovely art glass vase is not signed.  It was found with the items shown in image 6 (available separately).  
Stunning.  Solid amber glass twisted stem and inverted foot are applied to the grass green pulled bowl.   The bowl's rim is heat-finished by hand. Hand-blown, pontil mark on seat is twisted and flattened.
 Image 7 is of another fazzoletto vase in cased butterscotch available separately, click on the image to see more info.
In excellent condition.  Medium bottom wear on seat of foot is appropriate for it's age.  Large. Stands 9.25" at tallest, 7.25" at widest. Weighs 1.5 lbs.  Other items in images 6 are available separately.
