Good overall condition.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Murano master glassmakers distinguished themselves through the creation of utilitarian and decorative trompe-l'œil objects inspired by flora and fruit, exploiting the technique of colored pigment inclusions (macchie or macchiato).
Our piece fits into the mid-20th-century Italian art glassware production, combining the playfulness of fruit-inspired motifs with the technical craftsmanship of color inclusions in solid glass.
