The glassworks of Murano developed in the mid-20th century a rich production of figurative decorative objects in the form of fruits. The association of organic textures obtained by inclusions of colored glass powders and gold foil fragments characterizes the expertise of Italian master glassmakers from the 1950s to 1970s, offering a precious, warm, and luminous rendering.

This covered box in Murano blown glass in the form of an apple testifies to the inventiveness and technical virtuosity of Italian workshops in the 20th century, uniting figurative fantasy with the preciousness of gold-infused glass.
