The body has a transparent amber/yellow color with multicolored streaks and inclusions. Many small trapped bubbles (bullicante-style bubbling) and elongated air pockets are found all over the glass, the effect is intriguing as to how that was achieved. Colored fragments or trails of various sizes that look more like confetti covered the glass, adding attractive colors to the vase. The pontel on the base shows it was handblown, and the irregular finish on the foot rim is evident it was studio made by an individual glass artist, not a perfectly finished piece. See less
