Description :

A stunning collection of four vintage Italian Murano glass pieces, featuring the iconic millefiori ("a thousand flowers") mosaic technique. This lot includes three muffineers/shakers and one small open-top vessel, all showcasing a vibrant, multi-colored palette with intricate murrine patterns. Each piece is handcrafted, displaying the artistry and craftsmanship for which Murano glass from Italy is renowned.

The three larger pieces are believed to be muffineers or sugar shakers, with two featuring metal spouted lids and one with a perforated metal top for sprinkling. The smaller piece is a footed cup or vessel. These items are attributed to the Fratelli Toso glass company and are in excellent vintage condition with no visible cracks, chips, or discoloration.

Measurements:

Tallest Muffineer: Approximately 5.25 inches in height with a 3-inch diameter.

Smallest Vessel Cup: Approximately 2.75 inches in height.

Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition with signs of age and use consistent with vintage items. The metal lids show some patina, adding to their antique character.

Origin: Murano, Italy.

Millefiori glass from the Murano region is highly collectible and celebrated for its historical significance and unique designs. Please examine all photographs carefully as they are part of the description.
