Milky Glass Vase

₱4,500.00

The vase is made of opaque milky (opaline) glass, blown into a compact, pedestal-based form with a gently ruffled rim. Wrapped around the body is a trailed cobalt-blue glass ribbon, applied hot and spiraled by hand—an unmistakable sign of skilled glassworking rather than mold production.

The blue trail serves both structural and decorative purposes, adding visual rhythm and contrast while emphasizing the vessel’s curvature. The soft translucence of the white glass diffuses light subtly, giving the piece a quiet presence even when empty.

Stylistic context:

• Likely influenced by Mid-20th-century European and American studio glass, where playful applied elements became expressive signatures.

• Echoes techniques seen in Murano-inspired decorative glass, though similar methods were also used by Scandinavian and American studio artists.

Use & display:

• Best appreciated as a standalone object rather than a functional flower vase.

• Works well on a shelf or tabletop where light can interact with the glass surface.

• Particularly striking against neutral or dark backgrounds.

Overall, this is a handcrafted decorative object that balances restraint with character—its charm lies in the fluidity of the applied blue line and the quiet solidity of its form.
