Get ready to be blown away by the beauty and richness of this Murano Glass Vase. Showcasing all the features that brought Murano Glass masters their enduring fame, this vase is like the quintessence of Venetian opulence, artistry, and its never-ending carnival of colors and lights.
The elegant simple shape of the vase is offset by the artful mix of bold colors and the alternating pattern of vivid lines and exquisite Millefiori flowers. Building on the classic Millefiori technique invented centuries ago, the artist came up with a design that tastefully combines the old with the new and explores Modern Art concepts while being true to Murano Glass' roots. The heritage of Murano's artistic tradition, highest-quality silica from the Venetian Lagoon, and the rare skill and imagination of the glass artists and artisans are secret ingredients from which this gorgeous Vase was created to enchant and impress those lucky enough to own it. This Murano Glass vase is a unique designer accent for your home and a great Venetian gift for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or career milestones. Measurements: This vase measures approximately 9 inches in height and 5 inches in diameter at the top. The base is about 2-1/2 inches in diameter. The vase is very well packaged to avoid damage in transit. It features the artist's signature on the bottom, the original sticker, and comes with the certificate of authenticity.
As each Murano Glass piece is unique work of art made entirely by hand, some variations of colors, patterns, and shapes, as well as random bubbles inside glass are possible and do not constitute a defect.

Workmanship
Striped glass looks beautiful and unique but how is it made? This was the long-kept secret of Murano Glass artisans, which is now out in the open, yet nowhere else can you find the same glass quality and designs that you see on Murano Island. Striped glass vases are crafted by putting a layer of thinning stretched heated glass on top of a hot glass object, then twisting and turning the object to achieve the intended overall design. Based on the speed of turning and the technique you can change the direction of the stripes and spacing between them making patterns from spirals to parallel lines. The object is then put into the furnace where the bottom and top layers of glass fuse together to form a unique and elegant Murano art glass piece.
