AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Refined and elegant Murano art glass vase, entirely handmade according to the oldest and most complex techniques of Murano master glassmakers.

Body in Zanfirico Filigree: A dense, delicate interweaving of pale milk-white lattimo reticello that creates an enchanting dynamic effect as light passes through.
Applicazioni a Caldo (Morise): Profiled along the vertical ribs by undulating garlands in solid glass colored marine aqua, executed with extraordinary manual precision.
Bordo Torsionato: Shaped base and finely twisted cane structure that yields unique reflections and brilliance from every angle.

Conditions: Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or restorations. It bears the natural marks of hand-blown work at the base (polished pontil) that certify its authenticity and artisanal craftsmanship.
