Murano Millefiori Art Glass Ribbon Vase

This is a hand-blown art glass vase, characteristic of the Murano style of the mid-20th century. The piece features a bulbous body with a cinched neck and a wide, ruffled, cased-glass rim with an opaque white interior. The exterior is decorated with a vibrant 'millefiori' or 'end-of-day' multicolored pattern, dominated by shades of orange, red, yellow, and blue splashes on a white ground. A significant decorative element is the integrated clear glass 'ribbon' or 'corset' wrap that cross-crosses over the body, secured by a central glass prunt or button. This applied glass wrap is also infused with colorful streaks. The vase exhibits high-quality craftsmanship through its complex layering and hand-manipulated shape. Condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks; the glossy finish is well-preserved, showing minimal wear consistent with a vintage decorative piece. While no maker's mark is visible in the image, the technique strongly suggests Italian glassworks from the 1950s or 1960s, a period when exuberant colors and applied glass details were popular in Venetian glassmaking.
