Art Glass Bottle Vase, Tortoiseshell Pattern

Updated September 17, 2026

Hand-blown art glass bottle vase in a striking tortoiseshell or "leopard glass" pattern, featuring a warm amber ground scattered with dark brown mottled spotting that deepens toward the rounded base and fans into fine striations at the flared neck. The bulbous body and trumpet-form neck give the piece an elegant, classic bottle silhouette, while the tortoiseshell effect, achieved by rolling molten glass in colored glass frit before shaping, is a technique valued by art glass collectors for its rich depth and one-of-a-kind variation. No maker's mark is visible. Measures approximately 8" H x 5.5" W. Condition: Good condition overall. No chips, cracks, or losses noted. Please review photos closely, as we do our best to catch all flaws but small imperfections can be missed. Dimensions: H: 8", W: 5.5"
