The Murano glass vessel is a quiet and distinctive Burgundy to Mauve coloration, with clear outer casing, and depending upon the amount of light on any given day The signature is etched to the underside of one of the polished pontil bases, as image indicates. In great condition, with minuscule flea bite to one edging along the point whereupon each polished base meets to one side, otherwise very well maintained. Does not detract one iota, but perhaps as some Murano Collectors do is place a felt pad to areas of pontil base bottom, to each his/her own. A perfect gift of sophistication for any interior domain, gifting someone, or for that special person/friend/confidante/co-worker relative, etc. From an Upstate, NY Estate. See less
