Antique Venetian Art Glass Hand-Blown Vanity Vase Set with Silver Aventurine
Darling antique Venetian art glass vase set made by hand in Venice, Italy. They appear to be very old, possibly late 1800’s. Both in excellent condition.
Made of quality cased crystal. Inner layer of pink and green color with sparking silver aventurine. The vases are thick-walled with drawn stems. Applied hand-tooled crystal leaf bases have been ground to sit flat. Small bits of furnace debris can be seen within the glass. Furnace debris is often found in antique glass because they used open furnaces and organic fuel. In excellent condition.
Made completely by mouth and hand. One is slightly taller than the other. Both stand straight upright, the smaller appears to slant in the images, but it doesn’t slant, it’s a side-effect of imaging. They are not perfect in shape, but this is due to very old hand-made glass methods.
Beautiful for the vanity. Tallest is 7 3/8″, smaller stand 7″ tall. Both in excellent condition.
