Crafted in the distinctive “Rustica” décor, the vase features a textured, almost pumpkin-like ribbed body with a wide flared rim, finished in a vibrant green glass overlaid with a rich, iridescent sheen that reflects golden, aqua, and violet tones depending on the light.
The color is called Creta
Measurements: approximately 6 1/2" in diameter with a height of 4 1/4"

This vase does seem to have some detritus in either the glass or from wear that I can’t remove (see photos for details) but otherwise in very good antique condition with no chips or cracks.

This vase is a striking and collectible piece for lovers of Jugendstil design, Bohemian glass, or period decorative arts. See less
