Presenting a truly magnificent vintage decanter crafted from renowned Venetian (Murano) glass, featuring a captivating deep cobalt blue, often known as "zaffiro," that glows with vibrant intensity. This elegant piece is adorned with exquisite hand-applied matte gold gilding, showcasing delicate floral motifs and classic trim, lending it an authentic antique charm. Likely dating from the late 19th to mid-20th century Venetian Revival period, this decanter embodies the unparalleled artistry and luxurious craftsmanship for which Murano glassmakers are celebrated.
Measuring approximately 9cm wide, with a height of 18cm without its stopper and 22.5cm with the stopper in place, it makes a commanding display. The decanter itself is in excellent vibrant condition, entirely free of chips, cracks, or any damage to the glass. While the gilding on the stopper shows the slightest, age-appropriate wear from handling, this is minor and does not detract from the overall splendour of the piece.
Although unsigned, which is common as many fine Venetian pieces originally bore easily removed paper labels, its distinctive style and superior quality clearly affirm its prestigious origin. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful and highly collectible work of art that will be the talking point of any collection or display.
