Red Studio Glass Vase, Mid 20th Century Hand-Blown Art Glass

Red Studio Glass Vase – Mid 20th Century Cased Art Glass

This Red Studio Glass Vase captures the drama and depth of mid-century design. The thick cased glass shows a marbled swirl of black and cherry tones around a bright red interior, giving it an intense, fiery appearance. As light passes through, the colours shift and glow, revealing layers of craftsmanship only possible through hand-blown glass.

Standing approximately 23 cm tall and measuring 13 cm across at its widest point, it has a bold, sculptural presence. The wavy, smooth base adds a handmade feel, and the 1.8 kg weight gives it real substance. Every angle reveals a new pattern, making it as much a piece of art as a practical vessel.

Although unsigned, this Beautiful MCM Vase clearly comes from a skilled maker. The form, polish, and cased layers reflect the studio glass movement that spread across Europe and the UK in the mid-20th century.

Collectability and Design Significance

Collectors admire the Red Studio Glass Vase for its dramatic use of colour and form. During the mid-20th century, many European and British glass studios began experimenting with bold colours and organic patterns. These hand-blown pieces emphasised individuality and artistic freedom rather than mass production.

The cased red interior contrasts beautifully with the outer black and cherry swirl, showing the influence of Murano design yet keeping a distinctly modern edge. Because it combines craftsmanship with visual power, this vase fits equally well in a vintage collection or a contemporary interior.
