Mixed Murano Style Lampwork Glass Candies

This set contains nine decorative glass candies, each meticulously handcrafted using the lampwork technique. The pieces are designed to mimic traditional hard candies wrapped in cellophane, featuring a central ovate or cylindrical body with flared, fluted ends that simulate twisted wrappers. The construction utilizes translucent and opaque glass with internal filigrana or ribboning patterns. Color palettes include vibrant combinations such as cobalt blue with orange swirled centers, amber with lime green stripes, and red with dark chocolate banding. The clear glass 'wrappers' exhibit fine linear ribbing for textural realism. Each piece measures approximately 2 to 3 inches in length. While no specific maker's marks are visible—typical for these small decorative items—the craftsmanship suggests a Mid-to-Late 20th Century Murano style, likely Italian or high-quality Asian import production. The condition appears excellent with a high-gloss finish; some minor internal air bubbles (seeds) are present, which are characteristic of hand-blown/worked glass rather than a defect. The glass is fire-polished, resulting in smooth, rounded edges on the central bodies and sharp, distinct pleating on the wrapper ends. There are no visible chips, cracks, or signs of surface abrasion on the glass exteriors.
