This striking iridescent glass vase dates to the early 20th century, circa 1940 or earlier, and features a luminous green glass body with rich blue and teal iridescent undertones. The form is elegant and balanced, with a slender cylindrical neck rising from a gently flared, rounded base, giving the piece a strong sculptural presence.
At the rim, the vase is fitted with a decorative metal insert or collar, executed in an openwork design with flowing, organic lines suggestive of Art Nouveau influence. The metal exhibits a naturally aged patina, providing a compelling contrast to the vibrant, glowing glass beneath. This removable insert likely served both decorative and functional purposes, helping support floral arrangements while enhancing the visual impact of the piece.
The glass displays subtle surface variations, internal color pooling, and iridescence that shift beautifully with the light—hallmarks of early studio and art glass production. The vase is apparently unsigned, and no maker’s mark has been observed, but the craftsmanship and materials are consistent with high-quality European or American decorative glass of the period.
An evocative and versatile object that works equally well as a standalone decorative accent or as a vessel for display, appealing to collectors of early modern glass, Art Nouveau–inspired design, and sculptural decorative arts.
