Green glass vase with ruffled rim and pedestal base
History
This style of decorative green glass vase with a ruffled or crimped rim was popular during the mid-20th century, particularly from the 1940s through the 1970s. These vases were commonly produced by various American and European glass manufacturers as affordable decorative items for the home. The vibrant green color was achieved by adding chromium or iron oxide to the glass mixture, and the ruffled edge was hand-formed while the glass was still hot and malleable. Green glass vases of this type appeal to collectors of vintage glassware, mid-century modern enthusiasts, and those who appreciate colorful decorative arts. They are valued for their cheerful aesthetic, craftsmanship, and nostalgic connection to mid-20th-century home decor. The larger size of this piece, measuring 12 inches in height and 9.25 inches in width, makes it particularly desirable as a statement piece for floral arrangements or as a standalone decorative accent in vintage-inspired interiors.
