#1211 Clear glass bud vases with red stripes and lobed bases.

Glassmaking in the early 20th century saw a resurgence of decorative techniques, including the application of colored stripes and intricate base designs. The Art Deco period, spanning roughly from the 1920s to the 1930s, embraced bold geometric patterns and vibrant colors, often seen in glassware. These vases, with their fluted form and contrasting red stripes, are characteristic of the decorative styles popular during this era. These types of vases, often referred to as bud vases or single-stem vases, were commonly used to display small floral arrangements or single blooms. The unique lobed base provides stability and adds an artistic flourish, while the dark caps might have served a decorative or functional purpose, perhaps to protect the rim or to facilitate a specific display method. Their clear glass construction with applied red decoration highlights the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the time.
