Murano glass makers have been replicating the opulent and often fruit-laden Murano glass designs of the 18th and 19th centuries throughout the 20th century and this large beautiful "old world Venetian-style" gold-flecked Murano centerpiece/platter/bowl in the manner of Seguso Vetri D'Arte is most likely a more recent creation, though I am unable to date this responsibly at all due to the lack of a significant surface to examine base wear. I believe it's more recent because part of the artistry of the early Murano works was the thinness and lightness of the glass. This piece is done in thicker, heavier glass and has a real heft to it! My best guess is that this piece was done by a contemporary maker (late 20th, early 21st century) as an homage to the classic Murano styles of the past.
This beautiful piece is LARGE -- 14" long, 7" wide, and roughly 6" tall. There may be a sharp edge or two along the base, but nothing significant enough to classify as damage.
DIMENSIONS: 14" long x 7" wide x 6" tall
CONDITION: Excellent, possible sharp edges along bottom edge, no chips, cracks, damage, etc.

GLASSpheme loves custom orders! But how do we 'customize' vintage glass? Simple. We love glass and we love our customers--and there are many ways we can help!
1) Volume discounts: Let's say there are several pieces you MUST have. Let me know, and I'll send you our very best price for the lot.
2) Custom displays: Say you have a special place in your home that SCREAMS for a glass display. Send me a photo of the space, your budget, and the accent colors for your room, and we'll send you photographs of possible groupings and our special pricing for the lot.
3) Tell us what groupings you have in mind, and we'll photograph them together for you so you can see how they'll look together.
What could be better than giving a gorgeous piece of vintage glass as a gift? (Aside from getting one, that is.) Glass is beautiful and functional--mostly! Consider a super mod biomorphic bowl or cased glass jar for a vanity or dresser, a platter/centerpiece for fruit on a countertop, or a vase for cut flowers. Not only does vintage glass bring exquisite delight to the most mundane of household functions (you should see our soap dishes), but our beauties increase in value over time. Send us a note telling us your purchase is a gift, and we will send it along with your personalized gift card, colorful tissue paper and a bow. (You alone will receive the receipt by email.)
GLASSpheme ships your purchase on the very next business day, but we're flexible too! If you're going away on vacation or have a special date you'd like your gift to arrive, send us a note, and we'll time our shipping for you!
Simple! Join the GLASSpheme mailing list! Paste this link in your browser, send us your email address, and VOILA--you'll be among the first to know when your favorite piece of glass is on sale, or when we're offering coupons.
