Vases: Cobalt Blue Optic-Rib Fluted Pedestal Glass Vase

This striking vintage glass vase brings a vibrant pop of mid-century colour, elegant, texturized geometry, and classic retro character straight onto a sunlit windowsill or shelf display. 

Hand-blown by studio glass artisans during the mid-20th century, this piece features a deep cobalt blue body shaped with an interior optic-rib design that opens into a wide, ruffled trumpet mouth rim. The blue vessel rests on a clear, tiered beehive-style stem ring and a flat circular pedestal base, featuring a classic snapped pontil scar on the under base. Perfect for catching natural daylight on a vanity console, a dining centrepiece, or an open kitchen display, this flawless vintage vase adds immediate colour depth and retro charm to any contemporary room.

Hand-blown using traditional optic-mold techniques. The molten blue glass was gathered into a patterned interior mold before being expanded, creating soft interior fluting lines that catch and refract ambient light beautifully. The clear glass underside features a distinct, rough snapped pontil scar inside the centre channel, certifying its hand-made studio heritage. It also displays two faint, hand-etched cross marks on the glass surface used during historical factory batch sorting. Form-engineered with a clear, stacked beehive glass column connecting the tapered blue body to the base, providing excellent structural stability and a classic mid-century profile.

Original Intended Use: Mid-century floral display vase, vanity table ornament, or colourful dining centrepiece. Alternate Suggested Use: A beautiful, texturized accent piece for catching natural sunlight on a bathroom windowsill, an elegant feature item for boutique lifestyle photography, or a lovely gift for a vintage glass collector.
