Hand-blown in Egypt from German Pyrex glass, the ornament rises from a generously curved, amphora-shaped body through a dramatically elongated neck that tapers to a delicate twisted loop at the top — the entire length wrapped in a continuous double helix of deep crimson and bright white stripes that spiral with hypnotic, unbroken rhythm from base to tip. The form is at once ancient and completely timeless, as comfortable in a Roman villa as on a modern Christmas tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long-necked glass vase is one of the oldest forms in Egyptian glassmaking history — vessels of remarkably similar silhouette have been excavated from New Kingdom tombs dating to 1500 BCE, when Egyptian artisans were already producing some of the finest glass in the ancient world. The technique of incorporating colored canes into clear glass to create spiral patterns, known as \u003cem\u003efiligrana\u003c\/em\u003e, was perfected by Venetian glassmakers in the 16th century but traces its roots to those very same ancient Egyptian workshops. This ornament, then, is not just beautiful — it is a living thread connecting 3,500 years of one of humanity's most enduring artistic traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-blown Egyptian ornament crafted from German Pyrex glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures approximately 7.5\" tall × 2.5\" wide (19 cm × 6.4 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear glass amphora-shaped body with elongated neck; continuous deep crimson and white spiral stripe throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwisted red and white glass hanging loop at top — no separate cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo metal accents or crystals — pure artisan glass throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes gold metallic hanging cord; a dramatic and elegant statement piece for any holiday display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Egyptian Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000431591577,"sku":"210000127711","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/8204\/9945\/files\/jjpckdr9puawmrk4h326.png?v=1777475176","url":"https:\/\/www.countrychristmasloft.com\/products\/egyptian-glass-long-neck-spiral-vase-ornament","provider":"The Country Christmas Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
