Early 20th-century hand-blown amethyst art-glass vase (c. 1890–1920)

·         Color: Amethyst / purple (likely manganese glass that has sun-purpled, or intentionally colored)

·         Form: Squat, bulbous body with a short flared neck

·         Surface: Heavily hand-worked / dimpled texture

·         Pontil:

o    polished pontil scar on the base

o    hand-blown, not machine-made

·         Lip: Fire-polished, not ground for a cork or stopper

Likely date range

Circa 1890–1920, leaning early 1900s.

This fits perfectly with:

·         Late Victorian → early Arts & Crafts decorative glass

·         Studio or small-shop production

·         The amethyst tone becoming fashionable just before WWI

·         American or European (Bohemian / Germanic influence)

·         Not identifiable to a specific maker without a signature, but stylistically consistent with turn-of-the-century art glass

Condition notes

·         No cracks or structural damage

·         Minor rim wear consistent with age

·         Pontil is intact and clean
