Vintage Hand Blown Cased Art Glass Heart Shape Red Orange Dish Metallic Flakes.
This is a beautiful and unique art glass dish.
It is cased glass, the bottom is white and the top is a beautiful red/orange color. Like a fiery auburn color.
It resembles the works of Murano Fratelli Toso but it is not marked and so I cannot attest to that. It is very good quality though.
While the bottom is white, it kind of has a greenish tint to it, a little bit like celadon. I am not sure if this was intentional, or because of all the colors on the top causing that affect. Either way it's beautiful!
On the top of the dish are lots of colorful metallic flakes. The flakes are gold, silver, back, green and blue. And when you run your fingers order on the top, the glass is textured, presumably the flakes.
It is a heart shaped dish which can be used for anything. I'm not certain but it could potentially be used as an ashtray for cigars as the folded part kind of looks like a place where you would rest a cigar.
It's so different and beautiful.
It is in almost excellent condition with vintage signs of wear, for example, the under side of the dish does have a little Nick on it which I have pictured however due to the color it may be difficult to see. It does not affect the integrity of the piece and most likely happened when it was moved off the shelf or table that it was displayed on.
Please look at all the pictures in detail as they are part of the description.
It is approximately 9” long and 8” wide.
