The vessel has a large, gently flared cup set on a rounded knop and wide foot, all executed in matching transparent blue glass. The underside displays a finely polished pontil, consistent with Murano workshop finishing practices of the mid-20th century.

The white decorative lines are applied hot in a fluid, expressive manner typical of Venetian glassworking traditions. Our best guess is that this piece was made by Seguso Vetri d'Arte during the 1960s or 1970s.

Dimensions:
Height 8", Diameter at foot 4 3/4", Diameter at lip 5 5/8"

Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs noted. Glass shows minor internal bubbles typical of hand-blown Murano production.

Notes:
Unsigned, as is common for many Murano workshop pieces from this period. A finely made and visually striking example of mid-century Venetian art glass. See less
