About the Item
This striking iridescent glass vase dates to the early 20th century, circa 1940 or earlier, and features a luminous green glass body with rich blue and teal iridescent undertones. The form is elegant and balanced, with a slender cylindrical neck rising from a gently flared, rounded base, giving the piece a strong sculptural presence.
At the rim, the vase is fitted with a decorative metal insert or collar, executed in an openwork design with flowing, organic lines suggestive of Art Nouveau influence. The metal exhibits a naturally aged patina, providing a compelling contrast to the vibrant, glowing glass beneath. This removable insert likely served both decorative and functional purposes, helping support floral arrangements while enhancing the visual impact of the piece.
The glass displays subtle surface variations, internal color pooling, and iridescence that shift beautifully with the light—hallmarks of early studio and art glass production. The vase is apparently unsigned, and no maker’s mark has been observed, but the craftsmanship and materials are consistent with high-quality European or American decorative glass of the period.
An evocative and versatile object that works equally well as a standalone decorative accent or as a vessel for display, appealing to collectors of early modern glass, Art Nouveau–inspired design, and sculptural decorative arts.

Victorian Green Glass Thorn Vase with Sterling Silver Rim, Czech, circa 1890s
By John Walsh Walsh, Kralik Glassworks
Located in Glasgow, GB
A late Victorian thorn vase in green art glass, likely produced in Czechoslovakia circa 1890s, attributed to the Kralik glassworks. The piece features a rounded, organic base that narrows into a slender neck, with the entire form encased in applied thorn-like protrusions—each individually manipulated by hand to create a tactile, botanical surface.
The rim is fitted with a hallmarked sterling silver collar, added in England upon import—typical of the period, when Bohemian glass was embellished for the British market. The marks are visible and legible, offering provenance and adding to its historical appeal.
This vase evokes stylistic parallels with the thorn glass...
