This is a handmade, dark amethyst glass vase measuring 11 1/2" height, with a 4 1/2" diameter base and 4" diameter top. Beautiful color when light shines through it - some tiny 'air bubbles' found here and there, bottom pontil and base show scratches from the manufacturing process - no other cracks or chips found. Round base isn't perfectly flat so there's a slight rock when set down but it does stand straight.   My guess is this is a studio piece made by a novice glass blower - nice substantial piece weighing 2 pounds prior to packaging.
