Description
Flat Balloon Amber Glass Sweet Pea Vase
Lovely vintage glass flower vase in unique shape. This elegant old vase is shaped like a flattened balloon vase. It’s narrow rim and deep vessel makes for a perfect vase for Sweet Peas. Long stems are held in place easily, and the flowers drape over the glass for a beautiful effect. In excellent condition with medium bottom-wear on seat of base (shelf wear, from contact with a hard surface for years, expected on vintage glass).
The vessel was blown from a vertical optic mold and the rim was beveled and fire-polished. The optics (vertical lines) are light. The wide, colorless domed foot was blown separately (no mold) and applied. Glass contains a few trapped air bubbles, common in vintage blown glass.
Measures 9″ tall, 7″ wide and 3″ thick. Weighs 1.75 lbs. Maker unknown. Discovered with a group of Italian glass objects. May be Italian. Looks like Cambridge or Fostoria glass…could be American. Circa 1950’s-1970’s.
