Story
Thick-walled amber glass vessel with paneled sides and a flared, faceted neck. The cuts are crisp and precise, the color is a deep honey amber that glows when light passes through it. Substantial weight in the hand — this is quality glass, not pressed.
Open at the top with no stopper — meant to hold flowers, branches, or simply to stand on its own as an object of light and color.
Sourced in Vienna. Bohemian or Austrian in origin, mid-20th century. Unmarked but consistent in quality and form with the Central European glass tradition that includes Moser, Riedel, and the smaller Vienna workshops.
The kind of object that belongs on a desk with a stack of books, or on a bar cart catching late afternoon light. A vessel for someone who notices these things.
