A piece of art glass from Bulgaria, produced at the famous SIP Beloslav glassworks (Founded in 1893 in a small town near the Black Sea, the factory exported glassware worldwide during the socialist era). Very intense colors. The piece represents the Black Sea: the base features dark azure blue blending into light gray and white, finished with a thin white rim, while the interior depicts the seabed with dark sand and sea shells. The colors and patterns resemble lapis lazuli. Highly artistic and beautiful, extremely rare, perhaps a unique piece, likely made for export. This may not come from a globally renowned glassworks, but it is in no way inferior in terms of quality and beauty. - Vide-poche, jewelry dish or ashtray. Excellent condition – minor signs of wear consistent with age, no chips, cracks, or repairs.
