A striking set of three graduated sculptural trumpet vases crafted in luminous cased opaline art glass. Rising to 27.5 inches at their tallest, these elegant modern forms feature milky white interiors encased in clear glass and dramatic four-point pulled bases that catch light beautifully. Designed as architectural decorative objects as much as functional vessels, the trio creates a sophisticated vertical composition on a console, mantel, or entry table.

Full Description
This elegant set of three graduated sculptural trumpet vases showcases the clean lines and luminous materiality of mid-century inspired art glass design. Each vase is formed from cased glass, with a soft opaline white interior layer encased in clear glass, producing a subtle depth and glow when illuminated by natural or directional light.
The trio features a graceful trumpet silhouette that rises from distinctive four-point pulled bases, a hallmark of hot-formed art glass that creates sculptural movement and beautiful light refraction along the edges. Arranged together, the three heights create a dramatic architectural composition ideal for modern interiors.
While capable of holding minimalist floral arrangements such as single stems or long grasses, these pieces are best appreciated as decorative sculptural objects. Their tall, slender proportions make them particularly effective when styled on a console table, mantel, or entryway where their vertical forms can anchor a space with quiet elegance.
The graduated scale allows the pieces to be displayed together as a cohesive sculptural grouping or individually throughout a room.

The opaline cased glass construction remains clean and luminous, and the sculptural trumpet forms retain their original shape and integrity. The clear glass bases are smooth and stable, with only light, age-appropriate surface wear consistent with decorative use. One condition note is present on the medium-sized vase (15.5" height). Along the upper rim there is a very small chip. The chip is subtle and not visually prominent in normal viewing or photography; however, it can be detected by touch if a finger is gently run along the rim. The edge remains smooth overall and the minor imperfection does not affect the stability or display of the piece. The tall and small vases show no visible chips or cracks at the rims, bodies, or bases. All three pieces display beautifully and present well as a graduated sculptural grouping. Overall, this is a handsome decorative set with minor age-consistent wear and one small rim imperfection on the medium vase, accurately reflected here for transparency. less
