Posy Basket Vase Appraisal

Murano Art Glass Multi-Color Splatter Posy Basket Vase

This is a Murano art glass 'Posy Basket' vase, likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s. The vase features a vibrant 'splatter' or 'millefiori' design, with a clear glass body infused with irregular splotches of multiple colors, including shades of blue, orange, yellow, green, and dark brown against an opaque white background. The form is that of a basket, with a wide, organically flared rim that gives way to a narrower, footed base. The base is also clear glass and appears to have a slightly ruffled or lobed design, providing stability. A prominent clear glass handle arches over the top, attached to the flared rim. The handle is adorned with small, clear glass applied embellishments, resembling decorative spikes or prunts, at its points of attachment. The overall condition is described as 'Very good,' suggesting minimal visible wear, chips, cracks, or repairs. The quality of craftsmanship is indicative of Murano glass, known for its intricate lampwork and vibrant color applications. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image.
