A MOULD-BLOWN LIGHT GREEN GLASS VASE Iran, 18th - 19th century Of globular shape, resting on a concave, footless, ridged base, with a short cylindrical neck with reinforced mouth, the light green body gently ridged with fine vertical ribs from the bottom to the top, the centre with a continuous band of mould-blown cypress trees, 17cm high. The mould-blown decoration present on this vase with vertical ribs and the cypress trees band in the centre is typical of the 18th - 19th-century glass production in Iran (S. Carboni and D. Whitehouse, Glass of the Sultans, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2001, p. 278).
