This enchanting 1950s vintage bud vase cunningly uses swirls of color to create the illusion of wilting flowers trapped within the crystalline glass. When a long, leafy stem—like a tulip or lily—is placed within the vessel, the result is a trompe l'oeil effect that would make an arresting finishing touch to an al fresco tablescape. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
