Description

Dramatic fire-storm decor, red and orange, heavily lobed vase, in hand blown splatter glass vase in the Art Deco style. This design for vases is often called ‘Pique fleurs’ or ‘rose-bowl’ and is supplied with a fitted metal grille (possibly a later replacement) to support stems in an arrangement. The lobed body is often typical for pre-war production, although similar items were also produced in the 1950s. The body contains a good amount of water to keep the arrangement stabile and blooming.

Special color and technique for any collector.
Looks simply stunning. The edge of the glass is left bare and rubbing against the grille may have caused scratches or small chips to the top rim of the glass under the collar.
