Description
Attractive smokey grey art glass vase featuring a unique bulbous, gourd-like shape and a stylish slanted/asymmetrical rim. The glass features natural vertical optical ribbing and a weighted base for stability. This piece works well in Minimalist, Mid-Century Modern, or Industrial decor styles.
Key Features
Modern silhouette, desirable smokey charcoal colorway, unique slanted neck, and versatile size for shelf or tabletop decor.
Authenticity Indicators
No visible maker's mark or signature. The cut and polish of the rim suggests mass-market art glass rather than high-end studio glass. Confidence level: Low (Designer unknown).
Flaws to Note
Heavy smudging and fingerprints; some possible light surface scratches on the base (shelf wear), which are typical for glass items.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Etsy (if listing as vintage), or eBay. Local sales are preferred to avoid high shipping costs and breakage risks.
Selling Tips
Thoroughly clean with glass cleaner to remove all fingerprints before photographing. Use backlighting to showcase the translucency of the smokey glass. Use keywords like 'Smoked Glass', 'Minimalist', 'Organic Modern', and 'Gourd Vase'.
