Crafted in Italy circa 1950 and attributed to Murano, the hand-blown vessel features a tall, slender trumpet form that rises from a flared foot to a dramatically ruffled flower-form opening.

The vase is executed in luminous ruby-red glass enriched with clear and subtle green accents. Vertical ribs travel along the gently waisted body before extending into pulled, feather-like points around the rim. Alternating layers of glass curl inward and outward, creating a dynamic silhouette reminiscent of an open lily. The sculpted base repeats the petal motif, giving the composition balance while providing a stable foundation.

Light passing through the richly colored glass reveals variations ranging from deep crimson to glowing amber-red, while the clear tips lend brilliance and definition. Substantial in height, this decorative vessel would make a dramatic centerpiece on a console, buffet, pedestal, or center table, with or without flowers. It also makes a distinctive addition to a collection of antique and vintage Murano-style glass.

The vase is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use.
