This vase is beautiful. Stands 8 inches high about, and is 4 inches deep inside. From 1960-1963. Murano Sommerso glass. Extremely thick and heavy. Thick clear layer of glass on outside. Inner layer is a deep blue blending into a deep purple up to the scalloped rim. The rim is very thick. The outer wall is a generous, thick scallop all the way around. When you move the vase about, it looks like the colors move inside. It weighs... about 5.2 pounds. There are no flaws that I can see. Beautiful in any kind of lighting. It was my mothers.
