This vase is crafted from amethyst-colored glass with a smooth, translucent body. The glass is free-blown, exhibiting slight variations in thickness and shape, indicative of hand production. The base is polished, showing signs of pontil removal, but lacks any identifying marks or inscriptions.
The vase features a flared and undulating rim, shaped into four distinct lobes. The elongated body tapers gently downward to a stable, rounded base. The coloration is consistent throughout, with a deep purple hue that lightens towards the edges, accentuating the form.
Produced in the 20th century, this piece aligns with the stylistic preferences of European and American glassmakers known for cased or monochromatic glasswork. The execution suggests studio or art glass production, where the emphasis is on organic shaping and color saturation.
