This ad is for a beautiful antique Italian Fratelli Toso millefiori vase.  It was hand made, manufactured in the late 19th or early 20th Century in Venice or Murano. The maker was an expert glass maker.  The shape is symmetric and molded perfectly . The millefiori design is set out longitudinally with a lovely alternating repeat pattern.  The proportions and sinuous shape have the hand of an expert glass maker.  The vase sits level and does not rock.  The background color is blue.  The pattern alternates with white millefiori,  and white with turquoise/pale green and yellow millefiori.   I am no photographer and my photos do not do the vase justice. It has the characteristic matte finish on the outside, and a smooth finish on the inside.  It has the characteristic rough pontil on the bottom. The vase is in excellent condition.  I have looked in the natural light and there are no chips, cracks (hairline or otherwise), or repairs.  To be sure there are no hairline cracks to include the handles. Below are the approximate dimensions:   Height:  7.25 inches   Width:   4 inches   Depth :  4 inches I have had this vase for many years, sitting safely in a closed vitrine.  Currently, I am downsizing otherwise I would not be parting with it as the quality, color, and beauty is so nice.   I pack extremely well for a safe arrival.  It will be double boxed with extra protection.   Comes from a smoke free home.  I do not ship overseas.   Condition: Used.
