Description :

Summary: A vibrant duo of hand-blown Murano millefiori glass featuring a ruffled-edge bowl and a bell-shaped clown figurine. The bowl bursts with floral and geometric cane work in red, blue, green, and yellow, while the clown bell showcases a cheerful face, green hat, and red bow atop a millefiori body. Both pieces glow under UV light, suggesting the presence of manganese or uranium—a trait prized by collectors of vintage glass. A playful and artistic pairing from the Venetian tradition, offered as a set.
