Vintage blown glass vase (Überfangglas, also known as cameo glass), green with white ribbons. This type of glass is made of two or more layers of different colors. Known since the Hellenistic period, it was widely used during the Biedermeier and Art Nouveau periods. An Austrian patent, filed on February 19, 1912 (no. 60369), regulated its production, which continued for decades in the Schönborn glassworks. This vase combines green and white layers that create waves and moiré effects of a very particular nature. The base shows clear traces of blowing. Based on its characteristics, we date it to the 1960s. In perfect condition. An elegant piece that attracts attention wherever it is placed. Dimensions: height 26 cm, diameter 6 cm.
