1. Murano Glass Bud Vase
• Form: A tall, slender clear glass bud vase with a spherical base.
• Base Design: The rounded base contains controlled air bubbles (bullicante technique), a signature element of Murano craftsmanship.
• Style: Elegant and minimalist, the piece blends functionality with classic Venetian artistry. The optical clarity and proportion suggest hand-blown construction.

2. Murano Glass Paperweight
• Form: A domed glass paperweight with an underwater-like design.
• Interior Design: Encapsulated within the glass are swirls of yellow, ivory, and black—resembling a flower, sea anemone, or organic coral formation—radiating from the center. There is a millefiori-like burst or grid near the top, adding dimension and shimmer.
• Technique: Likely includes sommerso (layered glass) and millefiori influences, showing off the depth and control Murano glassmakers are known for.
• Base: Smooth and polished, often a feature in collectible Murano paperweights.

Style & Origin:
• Both pieces are likely from mid to late 20th century, crafted in Murano, Italy, known for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition.
• These types of pieces were popular as art glass décor, corporate gifts, or collectors’ items. See less
