Item History & Price
Vintage Murano Handled Decanter or Claret Jug Brown and Turquoise c 1950s
A very decorative and collectable item of mid 20th century Italian art glass, probably made in Murano and possibly Salviati. This is a very stylish item of glassware, unmarked but a good quality and well made piece with a great shape.
This handled decanter or claret jug dates from, I think, around 1950s and is a very good looking item. It is made of hand blown glass and has a... brown body with turquoise details - the ribbed handle, stopper, foot and decorative neck ring.
The decanter is 12 1/4 inches or 31 cms high and the round bowl of the decanter has four flattened faces giving a square effect around the centre. The sinuous handle has a very tactile ribbed finish. The stopper mimics the shape of the decanter. The base has a polished pontil and there is wear to the footrim consistent with age and use. the decanter has a short scratch at the top of one of the flattened faces and there are three chips to the neck rim that have had cosmetic repairs to disguise them.
The decanter weighs 993g and is a very decorative item to add to any collection of art glassware. Please see my other glass items also listed for sale this week.
