Mid-Century Modern Italian Murano Glass Decanter and Shot Glass Set with Millefiori Pattern

This is a vintage seven-piece beverage set consisting of one tapered conical pitcher or decanter and six cylindrical shot glasses, crafted from high-quality art glass. The primary body of each piece is a deep, opaque black glass, often referred to as 'nero' glass in Italian glassmaking. The set features a distinctive decorative band of circular Millefiori (thousand flowers) murrine canes encircling the base region of each vessel. These colorful glass inclusions appear to be a mix of white, green, and blue floral patterns, which provide a sharp contrast against the dark background. The decanter has a minimalist, modernist silhouette with a wide base tapering sharply to a narrow rim, lacking a handle or stopper in the current view. The six accompanying glasses are uniform in height with straight, slim cylindrical profiles. The construction suggests hand-blown origins, likely from Italy (Murano) circa the 1950s or 1960s. The surface exhibits a high-gloss, vitreous luster indicative of well-preserved glass. No visible cracks, chips, or significant flea bites are apparent from the image, though minor base wear and surface scratches consistent with age are to be expected. There are no immediate signs of a maker's mark or pontil scar visible in the photograph, but the style strongly aligns with the Fratelli Toso or similar mid-century Venetian studios. The set's aesthetic combines geometric simplicity with traditional intricate glasswork techniques.
