Crafted in a rich, velvety plum-amethyst hue, the glass plays beautifully with light — resting in deep near-black shadow in dim settings, then transforming into a glowing crimson-purple the moment it catches sunlight or candlelight. A dramatic floral vessel, a pedestal for a crystal sphere, or an independent statement piece for a bookshelf altar or curiosity cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage, circa 1960s–1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Century Modern \/ Gothic Revival \/ Dark Academia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5\"H × 6\" diameter at widest point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blown amethyst glass body; clear glass pedestal stem and base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage.
