Hand-blown by skilled artisans in Murano, Italy during the mid-20th century, the figure combines both clear and richly colored glass with the addition of aventurine, the sparkling gold flecks often used in traditional Murano glassmaking. Delicate details such as her red lips and the intricate folds of her dress highlight the craftsmanship that has made Murano glass world-renowned for centuries.
