Forato Hand Blown Flask Signed

Signed Amethyst Hand Blown Flask by Forato Art Glass

A beautiful amethyst hand blown glass cutting starter flask with aged metal handle. This vintage Forato hand blown flask is an art glass basket that is signed by hand by Chet Cole. Chet Cole is the patriarch of a glass making family from Vermont. He is in his 70s now. This basket was made and sold in Massachusetts in the early 1980’s. The metal handle has an even patina. The flask is hand blown with concave pontil mark. It features a hole in the center (very hard to do) that makes a nice finger grip and decor feature.

Organic styling with an ancient artifact flare. A perfect host for plant cutting starters made for that purpose. Place the newly cut leaf stem in the opening, the hole in the bottle stops the stem from falling into the flask, and the roots grow down into the bottle.

The metal handle of this Forato hand blown flask is removable. It measures 8.5″ long with the handle extended. The decanter is 6.5″ long, 4.5″ wide and 2″ thick. It weighs 2 lbs.
