Vases such as these (and similar looking swan-form bowls) tend to be starter glass blowing projects. You'll see them made in beginner glass blowing classes and also at the Corning Museum of Glass where you can sign-up for a single-session glass-blowing experience; styles and objects change from time to time.

Dear, thank you very much for the information.
Do you have any idea of the age? value?
(is it carnaval glass (or Marigold) because of the colouring)
Thanks in advance.
Best regards, ACZZ (the Netherlands)
If the colorization is applied chemically (not the actual color of the glass), then I would say it has a carnival glass type treatment. However, I do not believe it would be clasified as carnival glass from the perspective of most carnival glass collectors.
Just as there is a differentiation between "vintage" and "new era" carnival glass, there is also another differentiation between true carnival glass and other glass that has a carnival glass treatment.
I believe the value of such pieces is more driven by the importance it represents to the individual owner rather than an established regular trade basis.
Twentiethc, thank you.
