ANY INFO ON MOST UNUSUAL VASE I'VE EVER SEEN?!

I found this last week at a local thrift store - and forgot I had it (and more bags of stuff) until I opened my trunk to put groceries in it! (I know, I know; stop laughing)
You can see from a small chip that it's plaster, but I thought it was made of some kind of metal when I first felt it.
Is this hand made? It has a little quality control sticker on the bottom so it's probably mass produced, right? Although I've never seen anything like it!
I thought I'd found a cool mid century modern vase because it is so unusual - even the inside is as unusual as the outside!
Can anyone tell me what I found?
Thanks all

 

It's much newer than mid century QC labels haven't been around that long as far as I can remember.

 

Is that a date of: 5-3-11 on the bottom?

 

The 5 is part of the other numbers (they are upside down)
I wouldn't be surprised if it's newer - that was just my first thought.
if you were going to sell it what would you call it?

 

Wrinkled, pleated, ruched?

 

Cactus look?

 

ALL good names I didn't think of!
Thanks!

 

Fun piece! Looks like the maker took separate strips of glass (24 if I counted correctly) fused them into a vase shape and then re-fired the whole thing and wobbled it back and forth for the final product.

I would be surprised if there is an official name for the style as it appears like someone was just playing around w/ molten glass but I certainly can’t blame them for that

 

I think he said it's plaster. I do think I remember seeing some items similar to this somewhere with decor stuff though I don't remember where so could have been a thrift. My memory isn't much help as to exactly when but I'd guess the last 15 years.

 

That’s what I get for skimming

 

I did find some vases in a similar shape though not material that they were calling origami style. Though I think this is sort of squashed origami.
