Striking vintage Murano-style art glass purse vase in a sculptural handbag form, featuring a ribbed optic body in rich ruby/cranberry red glass with shimmering metallic aventurine-style inclusions. The vase is finished with an elegant applied clear glass handle and decorative rosette-like attachments at the rim, creating a beautiful contrast against the saturated red body.
The interior displays a soft opaline white casing that adds depth and a luminous glow when viewed from above. A dramatic statement piece that works beautifully as an objet d’art, centerpiece, or functional vase.
Perfect for Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, eclectic, and contemporary interiors.
