AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The presented article is a Murano glass vase (or artistic goblet) made with the glass-blowing technique. These pieces are typical of Venetian craftsmanship and are distinguished by their elegant design and hand-finished, intricate details.
Main features
"Triumph" style: The tall goblet design with a decorated stem is often associated with the Venetian model "Trionfo," inspired by classical shapes and sometimes baroque elements.
The twisted stem and spiral applications (such as the amber decoration that wraps around the body of the vase) are distinctive signs of the mastery of Murano glassmakers.
The label on the object identifies an authentic piece from Alvise Giustinian Murano glassworks. This brand is associated with a historic activity of producing and selling artistic Murano glass, with a long tradition rooted in both Venice and Tuscany.
Details of the Brand and Context:
The metallic sticker bears the historical references of the business:
Historic locations: The label mentions the retail outlets in Florence (Piazza Ravenna 4) and Viareggio (Via Marconi 122). Currently, the main activity in Florence is located at Corso dei Tintori, 19/red, near Piazza Santa Croce.
Product Type: Alvise Giustinian is known for a wide range of glass items, extending from sets of glasses and goblets to small decorative objects and chandeliers.
Original Murano glass is recognizable by its lightness and the characteristic irregularities of handwork. Often these pieces were sold with retailer or manufacturer labels to guarantee their provenance.
The presence of a label bearing the name of a well-known producer or distributor and the explicit indication "Murano" is one of the main signs of authenticity for Venetian artistic glass. This type of brand was applied to guarantee the origin of the piece and to differentiate it from imitations.
