Layers of vivid emerald green and deep cobalt blue glass rest beneath a thick, clear crystal casing, creating a brilliant optic effect. The vase commands attention through its extensive cold-working, defined by large, polished flat cuts—often referred to as lenses or windows—that reveal the complex inner colors from every angle. Weighing well over six pounds, the piece possesses an undeniable sculptural presence and reflects ambient light beautifully. The meticulous hand-finishing and heavy lead crystal construction point to a high-level artisan, highly reminiscent of Murano glasshouses or fine Belgian crystal makers. It is an exceptional decorative object that brings immense color and gravity to a curated space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecs\u003cbr\u003e Year Made: 1960s\u003cbr\u003e Materials: Art Glass, Crystal\u003cbr\u003e Dimensions: 8.5\" H x 5.5\" W x 3.5\" D\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eThe vase remains in excellent vintage condition with minor surface scratches to the flat polished base, consistent with decades of display.
