Murano glass gondola placed on a blue water-effect glass base

An original and unusual vintage Murano glass gondola, which can be used as an ornament, ashtray, or trinket dish. The gondola is handcrafted from swirling burgundy glass and features a clear "fero da prorà" glass prow and pieces of gilded glass on the sides, suggesting it may have originally been designed as an ashtray. It rests on a blue glass base shaped to resemble water. The gondola is in good vintage condition, with no cracks or chips. The glass has some bubbles, which is normal for a handmade piece. It measures approximately 12 cm X 21 cm X 5 cm and weighs approximately 340 g without packaging. A unique item for your home or a perfect gift.
