Murano Art Glass Posy Basket

This item is identified as a Murano Art Glass Posy Basket, likely dating from the mid to late 20th century, consistent with the style of Murano glass production during that period. The basket is crafted from blown glass, featuring a vibrant multi-colored swirled interior against a predominantly white or clear background, a hallmark of Murano glassmaking techniques. The colors visible include shades of blue, green, yellow, black, and brown, arranged in abstract striations, giving it a dynamic and artistic appearance. The top rim of the basket is elegantly fluted or ruffled, adding to its decorative appeal. A clear glass handle arches over the basket, adorned with applied thorny or spiky elements along its top edge, suggesting intricate craftsmanship. The base of the basket also appears to have clear applied glass feet or supports, enhancing stability and visual interest. The overall condition is described as 'very good,' implying minimal wear, no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs, maintaining its original luster. The craftsmanship is indicative of skilled glassblowers, with attention to detail in the color application and sculptural form, making it a qualitative piece of art glass.
