Clear blown glass with gold stripes running the length of the body — simple, graphic, and entirely of its moment. Six and a half inches tall with a heavy bottom and a pontil mark confirming it was hand blown. The gold stripes give it a warmth that plain glass doesn't have, and the overall silhouette reads as mid-century modern even though the piece is likely from the 1980s or 1990s. There are two small areas where the gold has worn slightly — not very noticeable, and consistent with age. A bud vase that earns its spot on a shelf, a side table, or a powder room without trying too hard.
