The vase has an unusual sculptural inward-folded rim. Rather than flaring outward, the upper wall curves inward and down toward the opening, creating a deep circular recessed area around the mouth. This gives the vase a distinctive appearance when viewed from both the side and above. The glass contains numerous naturally occurring trapped bubbles and other subtle variations consistent with handmade blown glass. The underside has a large ground/polished pontil area from the glassmaking process. Under a 365nm UV light, portions of the glass exhibit a slight green fluorescence, particularly around the folded upper rim. Most likely from manganese acting as a clarifying agent. No maker's signature or identifying mark was found. Based on its construction, this is being offered as an unsigned studio/artisan art glass piece, with the individual artist or studio unknown.
