This thick, heavyweight optical glass vase is hand-crafted from premium glass, precision-cut with rows of pyramidal facets that refract light to create depth and inner brilliance. The design is both sculptural and minimalist, representing the precision and artistry for which American art glass is celebrated. Veritas Glass, founded in Texas by glassmaker Kathleen Allen, was known for its precision-cut optical glass and contemporary design language. While Veritas is no longer in operation, Allen now creates under the brand KA Glass, continuing her commitment to clarity, form, and meticulous craftsmanship. Works from the Veritas period, such as this vase, mark the early evolution of her signature style and are increasingly appreciated by collectors of modern American art glass. Ideal as a modern glass centrepiece, this Veritas glass vase works beautifully displayed alone or with a simple floral arrangement. Its contemporary profile and meticulous craftsmanship place it firmly within the tradition of fine cut crystal vases while retaining a distinctly modern identity. The vase measures 15 cm in diameter and 15.5 cm in height. In very good condition for its age and use, with minimal surface wear. The underside is etched with the Veritas insignia, confirming its authenticity. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
