"Antique Murano Glass Bottle, Venice, Italy, 18th Century"
Circa 1780, Venice, Murano, ItalyA rare 20.5 cm tall clear Murano blown glass bottle with a swirling, twisted shape, adorned with rosettes and cobalt blue glass decorations. This bottle had a wide body that extended into a long, elegant neck.
An example of the finest 18th century Venetian art glass.
In fair condition considering its age and fragility: a 6 cm stable line, starting from the pontil mark, extends onto a side panel of the body. Not very visible, see the last photo.
Otherwise in good condition and larger than the known 16 cm examples.
Dimensions: 20.5 x 12 cm / 183 g
