DescriptionA U-shaped vase with a heavily rounded lip and thick walls; there are four upside-down U-shaped projecting areas evenly spaced around the circumference of the vessel, which have been tooled-out thickly and are reminiscent of applied handles. The glass has a faint iridescent sheen to its translucent-to-opaque bluish-green color. There is a sticky residue in the shape of an oval on the interior of the rim, which likely relates to a manufacturing sticker. The bottom surface is polished smooth and there are no maker’s marks or signatures.ProvenanceGifted to the Chrysler Museum from Seguso Family in 2020.
