A fragile and delicate item featuring authentic handmade glass with small air bubbles and minor irregularities. The fine glass dome is not perfectly symmetrical, but this adds character and demonstrates that it was not machine-made; glassblowing is a lost art, and hand-blown glass products possess a level of quality, uniqueness, and craftsmanship that sets them apart.

A beautiful piece for displaying a special object—such as a rare or fragile figurine, a floral arrangement, or a taxidermy specimen; the possibilities are endless!

This dome and base are in excellent antique condition; there are no cracks or breaks, and while there are a few superficial scratches, nothing is distracting. Please check the photos for further details.

Dimensions: 18.5 cm diameter, 49 cm total height, 45 cm high excluding the wooden base.
