This striking hand‑blown iridescent art glass vase features a deep cobalt/amethyst base color with a dramatic metallic rainbow finish. The body displays a highly reflective, mirror‑like sheen that shifts beautifully in shades of blue, teal, purple, and gold. The top and bottom retain their rich cobalt/amethyst tone, while the center shows strong rainbow “oil slick” iridescence — a look closely associated with early Czech/Kralik art glass.
The vase has a large, rounded, smooth ground pontil, confirming it was hand‑blown and finished by an experienced glassworker. Its substantial weight (2 lbs 1 oz) and tall baluster form (11 inches) are consistent with higher‑quality early 20th‑century Bohemian production, known for thick glass walls and vibrant iridescent finishes.
Maker is not confirmed, but the combination of:
deep cobalt/amethyst base
mirrored + rainbow iridescent body
tall baluster silhouette
heavy weight
large smooth rounded pontil
…strongly aligns with Czech/Kralik iridescent art glass from the 1910s–1930s.
A beautiful statement piece that displays exceptionally well in natural or artificial light.

Minor surface wear consistent with age. This vase shows the hallmarks of early 20th‑century Czech/Kralik iridescent art glass, including its deep cobalt/amethyst base color, strong rainbow oil‑slick iridescence, heavy hand‑blown construction, and large smooth rounded pontil. These features help estimate the production time frame as circa 1910s–1930s, a period known for high‑quality Bohemian iridescent glass.
