About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
An elegant pair of large, covered turquoise blown glass jars, featuring a particularly decorative multi-layered construction: a turquoise blue outer shell, an opaque white inner layer, controlled inclusions within the glass, and aventurine-like gold metallic inclusions.
Each jar is topped with a matching lid finished with a clear glass knob. The combination of turquoise, white, and gold highlights creates remarkable depth, especially visible when the pieces are lit from the side.
Based on their technique and decorative style, these pieces can be attributed to Italian production in the Murano tradition, similar to the work of Barbini, likely dating from the second half of the 20th century.
The glass also exhibits strong green fluorescence under 365 nm UV light, including on some transparent areas. Technical Details
