Description from the seller
Magnificent Vaso Anfora Cenedese – Phoenician Decoro with 24k Gold Leaf Inclusions and Hot-Apply – Murano, 1970s
We Present an authentic icon of Venetian design from the 1970s. This extraordinary vase, entirely hand-blown, is a masterpiece of form and technique.

Technical merits and details
The true protagonists are the virtuosity of the work:
• Phoenician decoration with festoons: the body is adorned with the complex “Phoenician” technique, which creates elegant elongated horizontal festoons, densely enriched by an extensive inclusion of precious 24k gold leaf.
• Hot-applied side handles (ears): two decorative spiral handles, applied hot after the main blowing. Made in dark glass, they are embellished with gold leaf and outlined with a border in yellow gold leaf.
• Circular base: solid circular base with a border in 24k yellow gold leaf, also applied hot, which provides stability and additional preciousness.
• Color effect and backlight: under natural light the vase presents a dark body of deep aubergine (almost black at low intensity). When backlit or with rear illumination it reveals a surprising and luminous ruby/red amber transparency, highlighting the quality of the glass and the gold inclusions.
