Featured Vintage Strange Looking Vase? Blown Glass Lot Of Bubbles

This is a strange looking item.I assumed it's a vase,has a bottom and a ball top.Item can sit on either end.Appears to be blown with lots of bubbles.Really a beautiful piece.Any idea what this item is.Measure 12".

 

Very nice! Really like it!

 

Could you get close ups of the bubbles and the twist against a plain background please? And a top down view, and a close up of the base.

 

First pic it is upside down. 3rd pic is correct orientation. It is a decanter. The flat part at the neck is the top and would have had a stopper. Most likely from the Empoli region of Italy

 

If you're thinking genie bottle style, then not Empoli. And I doubt that's where it's from, anyhow. It has a fire polished base and utilises what's sometimes called soda glass here - random differently sized bubbles, as in Biot glass. Neither of those things are characteristic of glass made in Empoli. Shape is all wrong, too.

I do agree it's missing a stopper.

 

No opening for a stopper

 

Ol, I'm confused. No openings at all? The big end doesn't look open or is it? Hard for me to tell. If it is that is a weird looking vase

 

No opening at all

 

An odd item for sure. No openings then it can't be a vase. 12" tall. Not sure what the diameter is. Almost looks like something you could darn socks on. Fancy one at that

 

Please except mu apology,I found vase and looked again yes there is a hole at the top,so sorry

 

Thanks everyone,I looked again from the storage and there is a hole at the top,so sorry for mistake

 

It would have had a long thin pointed top stopper.
