Here is a rare and beautiful hand blown art glass bottle/vase of alternating blue/green vertical stripes by Fulvio Bianconi; Venini, Murano, Italy ca. This is a very desirable form and would be the centerpiece of many a collection. Unsigned but would have had a paper or foil label. This vase measures 9″ tall without stopper, 11″ tall with stopper. And about 5 1/2 in diameter. The slender neck is about 1 diameter at its narrowest. The bottle WITHOUT the stopper is a treasure and a steal at this price. Consider the modified stopper a bonus. Few bottles come with the stopper still intact. Condition for the VASE is excellent vintage condition. I detect no chips, scratches, cracks or fleabites. Only nominal wear to the bottom. Condition for the STOPPER is as follows – The stopper presents itself with no obvious issues. But after years of ownership I’ve concluded that it has been ground and polished at the lip. The stoppers I’ve seen with this style of vase are usually wide lipped and sit above the lip of the bottle. This stopper has no lip and looks suspiciously like it has been modified. I don’t think it would have come like this from the maker. I offer it here with the thought that an altered stopper is better than no stopper at all. I’ve been specializing in quality art and antiques for the past 40 years. I list to sell. Thank you for your interest and for looking at my auctions. All of my auctions are guaranteed!
