Tall Ribbed Ice Blue Art Glass Vase, Late 20th Century

A tall, elegant ribbed art glass vase in a luminous ice-blue tone, distinguished by its vertical optic fluting and slender, architectural proportions. The form is clean and modern, emphasizing material clarity and light play rather than surface decoration. The body is evenly ribbed from base to shoulder, creating strong linear reflections and depth as light moves across the surface. The coloration shifts subtly from pale blue to near-clear depending on lighting, an effect achieved through controlled glass thickness rather than applied color. The narrow mouth and weighted lower section give the vase a poised, sculptural presence, suitable for display with or without stems. Unmarked, with construction and finish consistent with late 20th-century studio or decorative art glass production. While the aesthetic aligns broadly with modernist glass traditions seen across Europe and North America, no specific maker or regional factory can be conclusively identified. The vase is therefore offered by form, period, and technique, not by named attribution. ⸻ Measurements & Weight • Height: 9 inches • Mouth diameter: 2 1/2 inches • Base diameter: 2 1/4 inches • Weight: 1.06 lb (converted from 16.9 oz) ⸻ Condition Excellent condition. No chips, cracks, or scratches observed. Rim and base are clean, with no structural or cosmetic issues. Please refer to close-up photographs for surface clarity and detail. ⸻ Attribution & Value Disclosure Attributions are made conservatively and in good faith based on physical examination, construction methods, and comparative visual analysis. Where a specific maker or region cannot be conclusively documented, the piece is described by period, form, and technique only. This object is offered as a decorative art glass example rather than a documented work by a named designer or factory. ⸻ Why It Works This vase succeeds on proportion, color, and light interaction. Its restrained design allows it to integrate easily into modern, mid-century, or minimalist interiors, while the ribbed construction gives it enough visual interest to stand alone as a sculptural object. ⸻ Tags (20) art glass vase ribbed glass optic glass ice blue glass vintage glass vase modernist glass studio glass decorative glass late 20th century glass minimalist decor sculptural glass clear blue glass interior styling object collector glass design object European style glass modern home decor statement vase FirstDibs style curated vintage
