Exceptional Oversized Brandy Balloon Snifter Vase
Beautiful extreme brandy balloon snifter vase from 1950’s Italy. Stunning peacock blue color. Well-made. All hand-blown. This giant balloon vase has an unusual hollow stem. Extremely attractive. Better made than most 1950’s Italian glass of this style. By one of the better glass houses, I’m sure.
The dome foot was applied to the hollow stem which is applied to the optic mould blown vessel. The pontil mark on the seat of the foot was pushed flat with a tool. In excellent condition. Glass is brilliant. Foot rim shows medium bottom-wear, expected on glass of this age. Stands 12.25″ tall with a widest girth of 22″. It is much larger than it seems. Stunning for your retro modern decor. This mid 20th century vase looks lovely with dried flowers or trailing plants. Looks fabulous in a window, at the bar or on the grand piano.
