Vintage Amberina MCM 9" Tall Vase Red/Orange Ombré

This style of amberina glass vase emerged in the late 19th century, with the technique perfected by glassmakers in Bohemia and later adopted by American manufacturers. The distinctive red-to-amber gradient is achieved through heat-sensitive gold compounds in the glass formula, which change color when reheated at the rim. Such pieces experienced renewed popularity in the mid-20th century when art glass collecting became fashionable.  Amberina glass vases appeal to collectors of vintage decorative glass and enthusiasts of handcrafted art glass for their vibrant color transitions and organic forms. The ruffled rim and ribbed body showcase traditional glassblowing techniques that require considerable skill. These pieces are particularly valued by mid-century modern and Victorian-era glass collectors who appreciate both the technical mastery and the warm, luminous aesthetic these vases bring to interior displays.
