Sharply cut and polished geometric facets create a diamond-like silhouette, reflecting light and emphasizing the depth of its submerged color.

Dating to circa the 1960s–1970s and attributed to Murano production, this substantial piece makes an elegant catchall or sculptural tabletop accent. Its faceted design recalls work associated with Mandruzzato and Campanella, although the specific maker is unconfirmed.

A worn, scalloped foil label survives on one side, adding vintage character; its remaining lettering is too indistinct to establish a maker.

Condition: Presents well, with light surface wear consistent with age and use and wear to the original foil label.

Approximate dimensions: 5.9ʺ W × 3.9ʺ D × 1.6ʺ H (15 × 10 × 4 cm). See less
