Murano Glass Bowl by A.Ve.M. Arte Vetraria Muranese

This very cute blue aquamarine bowl with yellow trim was created by the renowned Arte Vetraria Muranese on the island of Murano. The sweet design has been beautifully crafted using the pulegoso technique. This method of glassmaking was developed by Napoleone Martinuzzi in the 1920s and gives the glass a spongy opaque appearance due to the many air bubbles.

This piece is in excellent vintage condition (outstanding for age) with no notches, cracks, repairs or discolouration.
