Murano Millefiori Art Glass Vase

This is an exquisite example of Italian hand-blown art glass, originating from the Murano tradition. Standing approximately 12 inches tall, the piece features a complex Millefiori (thousand flowers) technique, characterized by a vibrant array of colors including turquoise, emerald green, magenta, and yellow set against a milky white or clear base. The top-down view reveals a masterful arrangement of glass canes, with a central red and white floral cluster surrounded by concentric rings of turquoise star-shaped canes. The body is further decorated with multicolor glass confetti or 'macchia' splashes. The surface appears smooth and well-polished, indicative of high-quality craftsmanship. A small white label or mark is visible with the number '1885', which may serve as an inventory identifier or a reference to a specific pattern or style era. The construction shows the seamless integration typical of Venetian glassblowing, with no obvious cracks or major structural damage visible. The item exhibits a Mid-to-Late 20th-century aesthetic, common in high-end Murano decorative arts. The brilliance and clarity of the glass, combined with the intricate cane work, suggest a skilled maker and a premium collectible status.
