This is a lovely vintage hand blown tall glass vase. It is one of two that I have listed in my store. One is a slightly darker orange colour and the other is more of a tangerine shade. Both were made by It has been made by the Italian V.B Opaline - who specialised in these vases swirls of colour in opaque glass bodies.
This is the slightly darker one. It has a little remnant of an old gold foil label on the shoulder. I have added a couple of photographs showing the two vases together. Any white marks on my photographs are not on the glass - but are only reflections.
The vase is made of a thick opaque tangerine organed glass with feathered and swirled with grey zebra stripes as decoration. Cased in a layer of clear glass. The rim of the vase has an unusual finish to the rim made of tiny curls like a pie-crust.
It is a nice heavy piece and measures a stonking 13 1/4 inches in height. The base is 4 1/2 inches in diameter and at the widest point it is 6 3/4 inches. The rim at neck has a diameter of just under 4 1/2 inches.
It is in perfect condition with no damages.
Given its fine large size - it is certainly a bit of a showstopper and will be an amazing feature piece in a mid-century or futuristic interior.
A lovely display piece for a space-age or futuristic mid-century interior.
Sadly - this large vase is too big and fragile to post outside of the UK. The postage quoted here is for Parcelforce24 and very careful packing so that it arrived with you in its damage free condition.
