This vase is featured in one of the Dino Martens books entitled "Dino Martens" by Mark Heiremans. The publication is German and the publisher is Arnolesche. There were a few volumes. This is a very hard to find book. This vase also has been seen in Domus Magazine... not sure of what issue. The red base background is more rare than the blue background. This was done in a wood burning oven as opposed to gas. It is from the 1950s and purchased in Italy at that time. This is a beautiful object of glass. No body blows glass like this anymore.
