Retains the original Murano label on the base. The piece is playful and colorful, but also reads like a proper mid century style glass accent when displayed on a stack of books or in a vitrine.

This is the kind of Murano figural glass that designers layer into bar carts, bookshelves, and powder rooms for a hit of color.
