Miniature Italian Art Glass Millefiori Vase-Shadowbox-Mid Century Modern-ArtDeco

  

I believe this miniature Italian art glass vase to be an earlier example produced prior to World War II. The color combination is a much harder one to find as it exhibits primarily blue and green instead of the more common multicolored examples. The vase has a satin finish as it was dipped in an acid bath after creation.

The vase stands a mere 2 1/2" tall with the top measuring 1 1/8" across. Part of a raised rough pontil can be seen and felt on the bottom. Although unsigned, the Fratelli Toso studio on the island of Murano has been known to produce a number of these examples. Thorough examination reveals no chips, cracks, damage or repairs. I can see no staining or residue on the inside from use.

I will mention some slight tool marks/lines circling the inside just below the top rim can be seen and slightly felt. These resulted from the production process and do not detract from the beauty or the value. A miniature ready for the shadow box on the wall!!

Please view all pictures as they are considered part of the description. Please check back to my listings often as I will be posting numerous fine examples of glass, pottery and porcelain in the near future.
