Murano glass vase with gold leaf inclusion, 12 cm, Italy

Murano blown glass vase, Italian handcrafted work with gold leaf inclusions. The piece has a beautiful density of material (nearly 2 kg for 12 cm in height), featuring a play of transparency combining cobalt blue, aquamarine, and golden flecks. The gold leaf is integrated into the mass, creating an organic and luminous visual relief. Slightly flattened spherical shape, with a short circular neck. Very beautiful decorative presence, ideal as a centrepiece or as a sculptural object. Dimensions: Height: 12 cm. Diameter: 14 cm. Weight: 1.996 kg. Condition: Very good overall condition. Note: slight internal manufacturing defect (visible in the photo), located within the glass mass. It is neither a crack nor a shock: the outer surface is perfectly smooth to the touch. This type of mark can occur during artisanal blowing and does not affect the strength or overall aesthetics of the piece. Unsigned piece.
