This mesmerizing little bud vase measures not quite 5 inches tall and about 4 inches in diameter at its widest. It has a repeating highly ornate design around the upper part of the vase in gold, as well as a golden fluted lip and a gold band around the base. I have seen this listed elsewhere as either 24 or 22 k gold. The color fades from pale blue glass at the top to a more intense sapphire blue color in the thicker glass at the bottom. This vase is marked with NR logo in gold on the side, and I believe it is Italian art glass, though these are most often made of cobalt blue glass, and the lighter blue color is rare.
This vase in in great vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, or other damage. There is one very slight imperfection in the gold design in one flower, where it appears as if maybe the paint was slightly smudged when it was being made. It looks to be original to the vase. It's hard to see and impossible to get a photo of. The glass is very fine and made so carefully. This vase is so pretty!
