Vintage MCM Cased Art Glass Vase / Bottle Scandinavian Style Glass Heavy 16

Heavy and thick Glass Art Vase measuring 16" tall, 5" wide at widest point, yellow, green, blue, clear base, cased bottle, square base. Unique art glass piece is cased glass (multiple layers of colored glass encasing each other). The colors are deep green neck, swirls of yellow and green in the body, transitioning to dark cobalt blue at the base with a clear glass footing.

This is organic sculpted form, which is common in 1960s-1970s hand-blown studio glass. Heavy weight, suggesting solid glass construction. Striking mid-century style cased art glass vase in a sculptural "melted bottle" form.

Hand-blown with layers of rich color: a deep emerald green neck flows into swirling yellow-green marbling over a dark blue base, all resting on a solid clear glass foot. It is a folded vase with solid color cores and white inner layer. The color core in the base has a ground matte finish for stability. The piece has a substantial weight and dramatic shape, making it an eye-catching statement for any retro, modern, or eclectic space. This piece would be stunning displayed in retro modern decor, eclectic, or to add to up-scale glass collection!

Condition excellent only one area has interesting white lines but this maybe inside glass when created. Steps to create according to AI. Initial Gather - The glassmaker gathers a small amount of molten blue glass on the blowpipe.

Forming the "Pad" - Before adding outer layers, they flatten the hot blue gather slightly - that creates the flat, square-ish base area you're seeing. Layering Colors - The blue gather is then dipped or rolled into additional colors (white inner layer, green/yellow swirls, black), and the rest of the vase is built up. Shaping & Folding - As the piece is inflated and sculpted, the outer colors get their swirl/marble effect, but the very bottom retains that un-swirled core of blue.
