Vintage Murano Glass Basket/Vase

This appears to be a vintage Murano glass basket or small vase, likely dating from the mid-20th century. It features a vibrant, mottled green and white opaque glass body with random specks of dark blue, creating a confetti or spatter-glass effect. The rim of the basket is a ruffled, undulating white glass, giving it a delicate, fanciful appearance. A clear, ridged glass handle extends gracefully over the top, attaching to the body at two points. The handle itself has a decorative, possibly applied, glass element on its top curve, which adds to its ornate quality. The base consists of four clear glass 'feet' or lobes, which are somewhat irregular in shape, suggesting hand-blown craftsmanship. The overall construction points to an artisanal origin, characteristic of Murano glass production, where glass blowers create unique pieces often with embedded colors and decorative applications. The item seems to be in good visible condition, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear apparent from the image. Its small size, distinctive coloring, and decorative handle mark it as a charming piece of art glass, often used for display or as a small catch-all.
