Vintage Murano Glass Vase
This vintage Murano glass vase is a decorative art glass piece with a wide, ruffled rim that rises into several soft points above a tapering body. The clear glass is set with silver and gold flecks and small trapped bubbles, giving the surface a textured, sparkling appearance. Amber and white accents appear at intervals around the body. A blue and gold Murano Glass label reads “Made in Italy”, and gold lettering on the base refers to Venice, Italy, and to the piece being hand made.
Condition and Collectability
The vase shows its age through the surface, where the metallic flecking and bubbles vary in density across the body and rim. No obvious chips or cracks are visible in the photographs, though buyers should examine the rim and base closely before bidding. The original Murano Glass label and the gold base markings remain in place. Pieces of this kind appeal to collectors of Italian art glass, and the ruffled form and label make it an attractive choice for those building a collection of vintage Murano or Venetian glassware.
