Hand-blown Antique Vase CSBH

This is an approximately 10-inch tall, unmarked, hand-finished Art Glass vase dating to the Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) period, circa 1900-1920.

It features a tall, tapered body with a dramatically ruffled/fluted rim. The glass is a deep iridescent green, which shifts to bronze and purple tones. The vase was mold-blown to create a distinctive, textured surface of vertical prunts or tear-drop bumps on the exterior. Crucially, the interior is smooth, displaying the iridescent finish as a gorgeous, optical "peacock eye" or oil spot pattern near the neck. The base features a finished, polished pontil, characteristic of quality Bohemian art glass (often attributed to styles by Loetz or Kralik).
