Description
Eye-catching 1950s mid-century Murano art glass.
The decor method is called Macchia in Italian. English translation is “stain” or “mark”. It was accomplished by applying drops of colored glass onto the surface of the hot glass which is then worked into the glass by hand to create the pattern.
Thick, chunky, hand-formed quality glass. The rims are folded down, the base is polished flat and when you look close you can see three heart outline shapes on the exterior glass added during the hot decorating process. This shape is an icon of mid-century studio decorative glass. It can be used as an ashtray, candy/nut bowl, flower float, catch-all, and/or candle holder. Measures 5.75″ at widest, 3.75″ tall and weighs 2.75 lbs.[color-box]More about Italian Glass….[/color-box]
