Description

Elegant Venetian glass vase of tall epergne-style flute form, executed in a richly saturated dark amethyst tone appearing nearly black in ambient light. The vessel features a dramatically elongated and tapering body rising to a rounded shoulder and short neck, flanked by two applied loop handles in the Venetian tradition.

When illuminated, the glass reveals subtle plum undertones, adding depth and visual interest characteristic of Venetian colored glass.
