Lot 195: Art Glass Bottle Vase, Tortoiseshell Pattern

Description

Hand-blown art glass bottle vase in a striking tortoiseshell or "leopard glass" pattern, featuring a warm amber ground scattered with dark brown mottled spotting that deepens toward the rounded base and fans into fine striations at the flared neck. The bulbous body and trumpet-form neck give the piece an elegant, classic bottle silhouette, while the tortoiseshell effect, achieved by rolling molten glass in colored glass frit before shaping, is a technique valued by art glass collectors for its rich depth and one-of-a-kind variation. No maker's mark is visible. Measures approximately 8" H x 5.5" W.

Condition:
