Optic Glass Balloon Vase Blue & BIG
Vintage Italian glass oversized brandy snifter. This big brandy snifter would hold at least two large bottles of brandy. Made as a vase, much too large to drink from.
These fun decor items from 1950’s-1960’s Italy look fabulous with potted ferns. A 4-5″ wide pot will sit inside the opening and rest on the rim. Flowers and grasses look great too. Great for a huge tip jar on the grand piano or bar. Looks dazzling with colorful candy.
Stands 12.5″ tall with a girth of 23.5″. It is larger than it appears. The vessel was blown from an diamond optic mold and heat finished on rims. The foot and stem were hand made separately, then joined and applied to the vessel. Pontil mark on the seat of the foot.
In excellent condtion with medium bottom-wear (expected shelf wear on the seat of the foot caused by years of sitting around). Beautiful blue glass balloon vase.
