Vintage MURANO ZANFIRICO Bowl / Dish FRATELI TOSO Glass Polveri Circus Tent

Vintage Italian Murano art glass circus tent, bi-fold bowl from the 1930-40's, attributed to Ermanno Toso for Fratelli Toso. Decorated with the zanfirico technique: pink retortoli (twisted fancy ribbons) and white latticino (filigrana latticework) and glittering with generous 24k gold aventurine (polveri) from under. It's a stunning piece, in hand, and prettier than the photos portray.
