Description from the seller
Important and scenographic decorative goblet (also usable as a monoflower vase or parade centerpiece) in precious Murano hand-blown glass, dating from the mid-20th century.
The piece embodies Venetian glassmaking mastery thanks to a complex layered working:
The body is crafted in an intense, deep cobalt blue glass.
The central cup features dramatic oval transparent windows with a satin/acid-etched finish.
The entire surface is magnificently hand-decorated with broad bands and gilded vines in fine gold (Venetian Baroque style) and precious floral bouquets executed in polychrome enamel in relief (thickened relief technique), which give the design a three-dimensional quality.
A collectible piece with great visual impact, perfect for enriching display windows or upscale dining tables.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. The glass is perfectly intact, free of chips, cracks, or glaze flaws. The gold decorations and the floral enamels are well preserved, vivid and bright, with only very slight and normal signs of aging due to its age that attest to its authenticity.
