Blue Milk Glass Hand & Cornucopia Vase with Hairline Crack
Condition note: this vase has a visible hairline crack running through the upper flared section and down below the beaded collar. The crack is also visible inside the opening. It is offered as a damaged decorative display piece and priced accordingly. Use for dry display only; water-tightness and the stability of the cracked area have not been established.
Bright blue opaque glass gives this hand-and-cornucopia vase a sculptural presence. Molded fingers curl around a tapered horn, which opens into a broad ruffled rim. A row of rounded beads circles the neck, while an ornamental cuff with floral and button-like details finishes the base.
The form resembles the hand vases associated with Portieux and Vallerysthal, but the underside is unmarked and the maker has not been confirmed. No specific production date or country of manufacture is claimed. The opaque blue color and glossy finish emphasize the molded details, from the curved fingers to the folds around the opening.
Approximately 8 inches tall, the vase has a narrow, upright profile suited to a shelf or glass cabinet. It is offered as one piece, with no accessories. The photographs include the front, opening, underside, several damage close-ups, a ruler view, and the actual scale reading.
