Hand-blown glass body alive with classic millefiori ("thousand flowers") murrine in vibrant multicolors – reds, blues, yellows, whites, and more – embedded in a clear or lightly tinted base
The "speckled" effect comes from controlled confetti flecks, spatter inclusions, or subtle aventurine sparkles that catch the light beautifully.
Graceful bulbous or tapered form flares to a dramatic ruffled (crimped or wavy) top edge, adding movement and femininity. Substantial yet delicate feel, with a polished pontil mark on the base.
- Technique: Hand-blown millefiori with speckled/confetti inclusions
- Style: Vintage Murano-inspired art glass
- Period: Mid-Century, circa 1950s–1970s
- Colors: Multicolor millefiori on clear/speckled ground
- Dimensions: 7.5" Height × approximately 6" Width (at widest/ruffled rim)
- Weight: Substantial for stability, around 2–3 lbs
**Condition:**
Excellent vintage condition – vibrant colors with no fading. No chips, cracks, or repairs to the ruffled rim or body. Interior clean with no haze or residue; only minimal base wear consistent with age. Displays stunningly, with the millefiori and speckles creating endless visual interest as light plays through the glass.
This joyful piece evokes the playful spirit of post-war Italian glass design, similar to examples from Fratelli Toso or other Murano workshops. Millefiori vases with ruffled tops and speckled effects are highly sought after for their whimsical charm and technical skill – ideal as a standalone sculptural accent or filled with fresh blooms.
Perfect for Bohemian, Mid-Century Modern, or eclectic interiors. A true conversation starter that brings vintage Italian flair to shelves, mantels, or tabletops.
