Executed in turquoise-to-cobalt ombré glass, it features hand-painted raised enamel floral decoration in the traditional Tre Fuochi (three-fire) style with multi-stage fire-gilded scrollwork. The fire-polished rim and base complete its refined hand-crafted construction.


The elegant baluster form is enhanced by finely executed raised enamel blossoms framed by gilded ornament, demonstrating traditional Venetian decorative techniques. Although unmarked, the construction, decoration, and glass characteristics are consistent with Venetian production. Its cabinet-sized proportions make it well suited for display within collections of Italian decorative arts and mid-century art glass.
