Vintage Mid-Century Cased Art Glass Onion Vase – Vibrant Red-Orange Internal Swirl, Heavy Crystal Base, 8”

Embrace the bold, dramatic artistry of mid-century modern design with this striking hand-blown cased art glass vase. Sculpted into a classic, low-slung "onion" or bulbous silhouette, this piece features an incredible optical illusion: a thick, fiery red-orange ribbon of color is dynamically suspended inside a heavy, thick-walled clear crystal casing.

​The intentional transition from the highly saturated, glowing crimson pool at the base to the completely transparent, cased-glass collar beautifully catches and refracts natural light.

Whether styled as a standalone statement sculpture on a minimalist mantle or placed near a sunlit window to let the internal swirl dance, this substantial modernist vase brings an effortless, upscale retro aesthetic to any space.
