The hand-blown vessels feature an internal decoration of tightly wound, alternating white and clear purple glass cane threads that converge into a precise spiral at the base.

Adding a tactile dimension to the design, several bands of horizontal cane wrapping encircle the shoulders of each piece, breaking up the verticality of the pattern with a ribbed texture.

Both pieces feature a brilliant, fire-polished exterior finish that catches the light beautifully across their dramatically tapered, elongated necks.

The pairing creates a harmonious but mismatched silhouette, with the taller vase measuring 24 1/4 inches tall by 6 3/4 inches wide, while the shorter, bulbous vase measures 19 inches tall by 10 inches wide. See less
