AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Murano glass.
Excellent condition.
15.5x15.5x7.5 cm.
Poste Italiane.

Wallet-dye tray or vintage centerpiece bowl in Murano glass with reticello or zanfirico work and a wavy edge.
The white lace-like ribbons are made with the zanfirico technique (a variant of filigree).
Thin white glass threads (lattimo) are grouped into transparent glass canes, woven into precise mesh or net patterns and then fused into the main body of the bowl.
Between one lace ribbon and another, twisted filaments of amber-red glass are wrapped in gold aventurine (shimmering copper/gold specks suspended inside the glass).
The wavy and folded edge (handkerchief or ruffled style) was formed freehand while the glass was still molten.
It rests on a circular transparent glass foot, typical of centerpieces, console bowls, or fruit/candy bowls.

Please view the photos carefully as they are an integral part of the description.

Careful packing and fast shipping.
