Mid-Century Modern Textured 'Bark' Glass Vase, c. 1970

Story

During the late 1960s, a design revolution took place in European glassworks as artists began to reject the 'perfect' polished look of traditional crystal.

Maker / Origin

While several factories produced textured glass, Ingrid Glashütte of West Germany became a leader in this 'Exquisit' style of relief-molded glass.

Condition & Value

The glass appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips to the high-relief texture. The rim looks smooth and the base shows appropriate light wear consistent with age. Excellent condition in these textured pieces is vital, as the 'peaks' of the texture are prone to flea bites. This example appears well-preserved.
