Description
Exquisite vintage Italian Murano-style pedestal rose bowl in a vibrant lime green. Features the traditional 'Tre Fuochi' technique requiring three separate kiln firings to set the gold, enamel, and glass details. Decorated with hand-painted white and yellow flowers, gold scrollwork, and raised ruby red glass gems. Standing on a clear stem with a wide gold-banded hex-base.
Key Features
Hand-blown artisanal quality; 'Tre Fuochi' technique; vibrant 1960s color palette; raised enamel texture; high 'shelf appeal' for collectors of Italian glass.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: Medium-High. The specific 'Tre Fuochi' application and the quality of the pontil mark (likely hidden under the gold base) are indicative of Venetian imports from the 60s/70s. Lack of signature is common for these export pieces.
Flaws to Note
Significant wear to the gold gilding on the top rim and the circular band on the base. Some minor dust in the crevices of the enameled flowers.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage decor), eBay (best for global glass collectors), or Chairish (if pristine).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Venetian', 'Murano', 'Tre Fuochi', and 'Hand Painted'. Backlight the item for photos to show the green glass transparency. Mention it is 'Bohemian style' as it cross-pollinates with Czech glass buyers. Pack with double-boxing to ensure safe arrival.
