Vintage Italian Hand-Blown Green Glass Porron Wine Decanter with Internal Ice Chamber

This is a vintage mid-century Italian porron, a traditional Mediterranean wine vessel designed for communal drinking. The piece is constructed from hand-blown glass in a deep emerald green hue, featuring a classic bulbous body, narrow neck, and a curved pouring spout. A primary distinguishing feature is the internal bubble-like chamber or 'glacier' intended to hold ice, chilling the beverage without dilution. The vessel is topped with a decorative straw or raffia stopper, dyed in contrasting natural and red tones, which is secured to the neck with a matching red cord. Measuring approximately 10 to 12 inches in height, the glass displays characteristic hand-blown traits such as minor air bubbles (seeds) and a slightly irregular form. The craftsmanship is indicative of mid-20th-century Murano or Empoli glass production. Condition appears good with no visible cracks or heavy clouding, though the raffia shows some fraying consistent with age. There are no immediate visible maker's marks, which is common for exported giftware from this period.
