Make a statement with this striking hand blown vintage art glass piece featuring an elegant elongated form, luminous sky blue cased glass, and an impressive oversized ball stopper. This will be a dramatic addition for collectors of Mid-Century Modern design, Scandinavian-style art glass, or quality decorative glass.
The silhouette is tall with a long neck and thick, heavy base. The luminous cased glass transitions from a soft, opaque sky blue to deeper blue accents around the base and neck.
While the maker has not been identified, the quality of the craftsmanship, polished base, and classic Mid-Century design suggest a well-made studio or art glass piece. This piece is similar to those by Carlo Moretti,Blenko, Holmegaard, Riihimäki, andKosta. It could be Italian ( Murano or Empoli ), or it could beScandinavian ( Sweden or Finland glass (an opaque white interior with a transparent outer layer).
- The color is a beautiful sky blue to cobalt blue gradient (ombre).
- The body is free-blown with a thick, polished base.
- The orb stopper appears to be professionally ground.
- The proportions are distinctly Mid-Century Modern, likely dating from the 1950s to the 1970s.
- I don\'t see a signature or acid mark.
- The decanter measures about 21.5 inches from base to top.
- Total height is about 26.5 inches.

I take great care in packing each item so it arrives safely. Many of the items I sell are vintage, collectible, fragile, or one of a kind, and I package them with that in mind.
Shipping Time
Orders are typically shipped within 2 business days after payment is received.
Packaging
Glass, ceramics, and other fragile items are packed carefully using protective materials such as bubble wrap, packing paper, sturdy boxes, and void fill. When appropriate, fragile or higher-value items may be double boxed for added protection.
Shipping Services
Shipping methods may vary depending on the size, weight, value, and fragility of the item. I generally use USPS and UPS, and select the most appropriate service for safe and reliable delivery.
Combined Shipping
I am happy to combine shipping when it is safe and practical to do so. Some fragile or unusually shaped items may need to ship separately to prevent damage.
Recycled Materials
I may reuse clean boxes and packing materials whenever possible. This helps reduce waste while still ensuring items are packed securely.
Damage in Transit
If an item arrives damaged, please save the item, packaging, and shipping box, and contact me as soon as possible with photos. This helps with carrier claims and allows me to assist you promptly.
Local Pickup
Local pickup may be available by prior arrangement for select larger or fragile items. Message me for details.
