Murano Glass Microbial Bowl. Copper metallic encased decor resembles micro-organisms.
Featuring organic styling from Italy’s mid 20th century modernism era. Hand blown encased glass. Inner layer is ‘lattimo’ (milk or white in Italian) and outer layer is ‘cristallo’ (clear). Cased between the layers is copper ‘aventurine’, real metallic particles arranged to form microbial-like decor.
This lovely and interesting art glass bowl can be used as a service bowl, candle holder (always remove new metal parts on contemporary candles before using with vintage glass), catch-all, candy bowl, etc.
The aventurine glitters and glows, but does not show well in images because of the metal particle reflections.Measures 8.25″ round and 1.75″ deep. Weighs 1.75 lbs.

Oversize Mid-Century Decor Blenko Art Glass Jug Vase in Blenko Blue
Mid-Century decor giant vase designed in 1965 by Blenko Art Glass, part no. 6515. Beautiful and rare Blenko blue thin necked bottle vase. Made for only 1 year. Fat ovoid bottle with thin neck and widely flared collar. Shown in Blenko’s 1965 catalog. This item was made for one year only. Scarce today.
Weighs 4.5 lbs, measures 13.5″ tall, 9″ wide with a girth of 26″. It’s a very large bottle. It’s in excellent condition with heavy bottom-wear (bottom wear accumulates where the base of the glass meets the surface it is sitting on, and is expected on old glass). Previous owner put water inside (never a good idea, especially when the opening is so small). Luckily, there are no calcium stains. It is not water damaged. But, since it is impossible to hand-dry the inside of this bottle, you can see some drip shadows (from drip drying upside-down) if you look closely. Surprisingly, the glass is very clean inside.
4″ wide flat collar is tilted slightly on purpose. Looks awesome with dried grasses. Blenko glass is known for its big, thick heavy glass with some air bubbles and straw marks.

Retro modern blown cased glass vase and goblets with white inner casing and amethyst outer casing resulting in a creamy grape color.
Hand blown cased glass vase is in great condition. Rim of vase has invisible chiggers. Cannot be seen, but can be felt. Unintentional trapped air bubble near base, maker’s miss, does not detract. Common with older blown glass. Tall, long stemmed wines are both in excellent, original condition. Both have tiny air bubbles on base. The bowls also have a couple small unintentional air bubbles, hard to see, won’t come out in images. Trapped air bubbles are commonly found on hand made glass from the 1950’s to 1960’s. Hand blown with inverted applied base. Rounded pontil scar on seat.
The wine glasses measure 9″ tall. Blown waisted vase is 8″ tall. Estimated circa 1950s. Italian glass, possibly Carlo Moretti. Very popular form and style in the mid-century years.
