Are you having us on or is the glass maker? Stem and vase do not match in style, it maybe glued together.

I agree... certainly a marriage of some sort...... and a bad one at that......

I do not want to believe that anyone that could produce glass would have such bad taste.....

Sorry,
Craig
I have been told that glass is my mistress......

Sorry, but it definitely has to be joined somehow... the glass is two different colors and styles....... The top piece is a mold blown piece of glass with the surface pattern and would have had to be joined to the bottom piece at some point...... The lower portion of the green piece was obviously designed to sit flat on a surface, and not sit on a stem........

I still think a marriage for sure.....

Can we see the point where the two colours of glass meet from the side.

The "stem" seems to be a 20th century (I think) drinking glass with airtwist decoration - probably with most of the bowl broken at the top and then ground down before being fitted, in whatever way, to the green vase.

Ground down and glued on, and the only question that remains is why in God's name... :) No offence, but my goodness....
