XL Vintage Murano teardrop GEODE pink cased bowl/dish/ashtray, Retro art glass
A HUGE Murano vintage art glass'geode' bowl. It's teardrop shaped with a narrow end with a small round channel, big enough for a cigarette - would have been a very fancy ashtray back in the day! It is thick heavy glass and the rim is wide, flat and polished - a geode - looking like it has been sliced in two. Rim is 2.5cm wide. Pink inner, cased outside in clear glass.
The small channel is sharp has some nibbles around it, see last few pics. There's a small impact mark, see last pic. Some natural bubbles inside and subtle manufacturing flaws/folds as you'd expect. Base is as you'd expect for vintage Murano and polished flat. No chips or nibbles along the lush flat geode rim.
I'd give it a 7.5/10. 19cm x 17cm x 5.5cm - quite sizeable! The item "XL Vintage Murano teardrop GEODE pink cased bowl/dish/ashtray, Retro art glass" is in sale since Friday, October 4, 2019. This item is in the category "Pottery, Porcelain & Glass\Glass\Art Glass\Italian".
