This gorgeous Murano Glass Vase evokes images of ancient Roman treasures found in the excavated villas and palaces of the Roman nobility. It is the very definition of Italian elegance and traditional Murano mastery, with truly timeless appeal. The simple yet stunning design of this Murano vase would fit equally well in an opulent classic villa and in a contemporary minimalist decor. With its gorgeous deep color the shade of sunshine and gentle golden glow of finely blown Murano Glass, this vase carries the air of elegance, sophistication, and affluence and makes a great heirloom to pass down through generations. Crafted in a traditional Murano-based workshop by a family of glass artisans using only authentic local techniques and the most basic tools, this vase is a fine mix of the old and the new.

• Authenticity: This Vase has 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.
