Vintage Venetian Murano Style Enameled Glass Collection
This collection consists of approximately twelve pieces of decorative glassware, primarily executed in the Bohemian or Venetian Murano 'Trezza' style. The set includes a large cobalt blue oversized chalice, a tall slender cobalt vase, a matching blue lidded jar, several ruby red flared tumblers, a stemmed wine glass, a small oval dish, and two green decanters. Each piece is crafted from hand-blown glass and features elaborate high-relief 'High Enamel' floral decorations, predominantly in white and soft pink, accented with heavy 24K gold gilt scrollwork. The cobalt blue pieces display a deep navy hue, while the red pieces exhibit a rich cranberry or ruby tone. The craftsmanship suggests mid-20th-century production, likely between 1950 and 1970, commonly associated with the Murano region of Italy or high-end Czechoslovakian glass factories. Condition appears fair to good overall; however, there is visible thinning and wear to the gold gilding on the rims and bases, particularly on the red tumblers, which is typical for glass of this age that has been handled. No major chips or structural cracks are immediately apparent from the distance of the photo, but the heavy encrustation of enamel shows fine detail and texture. The set reflects a Rococo Revival aesthetic characterized by its ornate, multi-layered decorative surfaces and opulent use of precious metal gilding.
