Vintage Murano Hand Blown Pink Blue Swirl Art Glass Handled Pedestal Basket Rare

Description

View Vintage Murano Hand Blown Pink Blue Swirl Art Glass Handled Pedestal Basket Rare with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This glass basket is in excellent condition with one possible chip in the manufacturers mark on the pedestal. It is a one-of-kind piece, being it is hand blown, thus making it a rare collectible. Over decades of washing or handling, the foil layers peel away, leaving behind a persistent circle of hardened factory adhesive. This is a Vintage Mid-Century opalescent pastel pink and blue swirl glass basket with a ruffled rim, clear foot, tool marks, swirled pontil and air bubbles hand blown on the island of Murano, Italy, between the 1950s and 1960s. The pictures show the details one of which shows a small round residue. That small round residue is a massive clue that seals its authenticity. It is highly likely the footprint of a vintage Italian export or factory foil label. During the mid-20th century, Murano furnaces rarely engraved signatures onto everyday export pieces. Instead, they universally relied on small, round or oval metallic foil stickers (often in silver or gold) that read "Genuine Murano Glass" or "Made in Italy". Over decades of washing or handling, the foil layers peel away, leaving behind a persistent circle of hardened factory adhesive. This glass basket is in excellent condition with one possible chip in the manufacturers mark on the pedestal. It is a one-of-kind piece, being it is hand blown, thus making it a rare collectible.
