This gorgeous Murano Glass Vase is the very definition of Venetian opulence with a modern-day twist. In the tradition of the interior decor of Venice's glorious palaces on the water, this vase carries the air of elegance, sophistication, and affluence and makes a great heirloom to pass down through generations. Crafted by a family of glass artisans using only traditional techniques and the most basic tools in an ancient workshop on Murano island, this vase is a fine mix of the old and the new. It features rich red color, the rarest of Murano Glass colors and the hardest to make, overlaid with a fine net of 24 Karat gold. The vase's otherwise classic form is turned trendy by the addition of raised gold curls on the sides and the scalloped top. A fine addition to any home decor, this vase represents the best in Murano Glass artistic tradition: vision, originality, and impeccable craftsmanship.

• Measurements: This Centerpiece Vase is large and heavy, though its look would suggest lightness. It measures about 14 inches in height; 10 inches in width in its widest part; and 7 inches in depth. The round raised base measures 5 inches.
• The net above the red core and the base of this vase are made by adding pieces of thin 24 Karat gold into the glass mixture.
• The Vase is very well packaged to avoid damage in transit.
• Authenticity: This Vase comes with the signature of the glass artist and the certificate of authenticity, as well as the Murano Glass sticker.
• As this vase is a real piece of art made entirely by hand, some variations of colors and patterns as well as random bubbles inside glass are possible and serve as an additional assurance of the vase's authenticity and Murano origin.

Murano Glass vases, figurines, tumblers, and tableware often feature a unique look, where base layer of glass is decorated with colorful flowers, leaves, abstract glass streaks, or in other ways by applying stretched out dripping glass in various colors and shapes on top of a blown glass core. This technique requires precision, talent, and many years of experience working with Murano Glass. Murano Glass has unique characteristics which, when heated up, make it stretch and flow easily, and quickly cool off to form the desired pattern. Murano Glass masters in Venice often use this technique to create abstract Venetian glassware such as Picasso-style heads, vases, or sculptures, and other modern-art creations.
