Large Plum-Colored Blown Glass Vase — Foot Attached by Hot-Tongue Technique — Belgian or French Craftsmanship — 1950s Design

Period: 1950s, 20th century

Description:

Large and beautiful plum-colored blown glass vase, beautifully crafted. The base, blown separately, was joined to the body of the vase while hot using pliers—a technique characteristic of the craftsmanship of that era, leaving a discreet and typical seam. Small air bubbles are present within the glass, a hallmark of traditional glassblowing and a mark of authenticity for a piece from this period.

Beautiful sculptural design, likely of Belgian or French origin, in the spirit of mid-20th-century artisanal glassworks.
