Beautiful Hand Made Vintage Art Glass by Murano
Vintage Murano Venetian art glass cigar bowl cased in cranberry and colorless crystal with layers silver foil veil sandwiched between. Made in Italy on the Isle of Murano. Looks like an exotic jewel. Made in the 1950s when Sophia Loren made the rich beauty of Venetian/Italian styles so popular in the U.S. Actual artist is unknown as this is not signed, but certainly came from one of the better glass houses, perhaps Salviati.
Nice as an incense burner or candle holder too. Note: when burning modern candles in vintage glass, be sure to remove the metal wick tacks from the base of the candle first. Metal can get too hot and damage the glass, but melting wax is not harmful.
This medium size beauty measures 5.5″ round and 2″ tall, weighs just over 1 lb.
