Description
Stunning hand-blown glass vase featuring a white spatter/mottled body with a translucent finish. The piece is accented by a vibrant cobalt blue applied glass handle and a decorative coiled 'serpent' glass trail wrapping around the neck. Elegant amphora-style shape with a flared rim and pedestal base. Approximately 8-10 inches tall.
Key Features
High-contrast colorway (Cobalt on White), hand-blown craftsmanship, unique applied glass texture, popular Chinoiserie or coastal decor aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
Medium confidence; while it mimics Venetian Murano techniques, the lack of a pontil mark or the presence of a smooth, ground-out pontil will distinguish origin. Genuine Murano usually carries a sticker; without it, it is likely a high-quality import.
Flaws to Note
Potential for small 'flea bite' chips on the sharp edges of the applied blue spiral; some light shelf wear/scratches on the bottom of the base.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for its vintage aesthetic), eBay (for broad reach), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping fragile glass).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Blown Glass', 'Spatter Glass', and 'Cobalt Blue'. Backlight the item in photos to show the translucency of the white glass and the saturation of the blue. Double-box for shipping to ensure the applied glass does not snap.
