Description from the seller
This elegant decanter features characteristics reminiscent of Venetian craftsmanship, particularly Murano glass, renowned for its refinement and transparency.
The decanter has a slender, sinuous shape, with a wide body and a narrow neck that closes with a finely crafted drop-shaped stopper. The glass is transparent and engraved with delicate floral patterns, featuring gold rims both at the top of the body and on the edge of the base. The gold decoration and floral engraving indicate a meticulous attention to detail typical of the finest Venetian craftsmanship.
Based on the style and decorative techniques:
The period: late 19th century – early 20th century (approximately 1880–1920).
Era: Liberty / Art Nouveau, when Murano production was inspired by elegant shapes, sinuous lines, and natural motifs (leaves, flowers, branches).
During this period, the Murano furnaces such as Venini, Barovier & Toso, and others developed a style that combined Venetian tradition and international taste, often aimed at collectors or the European bourgeoisie.
