Amberina Glass Elegant Red and Orange Glass Vase

Amberina Glass: This term refers to a type of art glass known for its distinctive color gradient, typically transitioning from a rich cranberry or ruby red at the top to a golden amber or yellow at the base or handle. This effect is achieved by reheating specific areas of glass containing gold in the batch, causing the color to develop. Hand-blown and Applied Handle: The pitcher is crafted using traditional hand-blowing techniques, evident in its unique shape and potentially subtle variations in the glass. The amber handle appears to be an "applied handle," meaning it was added separately to the main body of the pitcher while both were still pliable during the creation process. Potential Manufacturers: While the specific maker isn't explicitly marked in the image, similar "Rainbow" hand-blown art glass pieces are often attributed to companies like the Rainbow Glass Company of Huntington, VA or potentially LE Smith or other mid-century glass manufacturers known for Amberina or hand-blown art glass. Decorative and Collectible: These pitchers are typically used for decorative purposes or serving beverages, and vintage examples are often sought after by collectors of American art glass.
