Delightful blue Murano blown glass excavation vase, with the addition of cobalt oxides, treated with acid to give the vase an antique effect, as if it had been found in an excavation. The vase is unsigned and has an ampoule shape, with a truncated cone-shaped body and an extremely elongated neck with a flared mouth. The object can be dated to around 1970-1980. The grinding mark from the pier under the base is clearly visible, i.e., the iron to which the object is attached in order to insert it into and remove it from the furnace during the various stages of its production, which indicates that we are definitely talking about a hand-modeled object.
