Two matching vases were made of satin glass vases that were handmade and so are very similar but not identical.
They have an inner layer of white glass and an outer layer of pale blue satin glass. They have tall matchstick necks with ribbing. The intensity of the color varies a bit as you rotate them. The glass has so very soft feeling and a luminescent quality. The pontil marks on the bottoms have been polished.
