Bidspirit auction | Hand-Blown Uranium Art Glass Vase
Hand-Blown Uranium Art Glass Vase with Murrine and Trailed Decoration - This is a hand-blown studio art glass vase crafted from transparent light green uranium glass. The vessel exhibits a vibrant green fluorescence under ultraviolet light. The urn-shaped body features a flared, undulating rim and is decorated with internal murrine-style circular inclusions in a gradient of white, yellow, and orange. These inclusions are interspersed with thin, vertical dark blue glass threads. The lower portion of the vase is finished with a dense horizontal webbing or trailing of dark blue-black glass. The base has a ground and polished pontil mark, confirming its hand-blown construction. An illegible oval tan paper label is present on the exterior body, but no etched signatures or maker marks are visible. The piece is consistent with late 20th-century studio art glass traditions. Height: 9 inches Rim Diameter: 3 inches.
