The vase features a tall, cylindrical silhouette. The main body is formed from a subtle, gilded clear glass. A defining feature is the striking 24k gold leaf or foil band that wraps around the center of the vase, creating a brilliant, metallic contrast. The upper portion of the glass exhibits a faint texture, possibly an inclusion of fine bubbles (bullicante technique) or a deliberate finish. The vase sits atop a heavy, solid, and rounded base made of deep black glass, providing stability and a sophisticated anchor to the clear body. The rim of the vase is also finished with a thin black or dark glass band. This piece is perfect for a collector of modernist art glass or as a dramatic decorative accent. See less
