AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent blown glass art basket featuring an organic style typical of Murano or Empoli productions (Italy) from the 1950s to the 1970s.

Glass highly enriched with uranium, giving it a bright and radiant reaction under a 395 nm UV lamp.

Its ruffled and wavy edge, hot-worked (mouchoir or fazzoletto style), gives it a sense of fluid movement. Its very textured twisted handle, adorned with small glass spears stretched in relief (rostrato decor), provides an excellent grip and a superb interaction with the light.

Its deep bottle-green hue was highly prized in mid‑20th‑century art glass (Mid-Century Modern). This type of object historically served as a centerpiece, candy dish, or decorative catch-all.

Height: 20 cm
Width: 17 cm
