Rare Murano Italy Millefiori Hand Blown Glass Basket w/ Looped Frosted Handle

Rare Vintage Murano Millefiori “Thousand Flowers” Hand Blown Glass Basket w/ Looped Frosted Satin Handle Made In Italy - Satin Acid Washed. Measures approx 5.5” by 5.5”. This is in excellent vintage shape no chips or cracks. This is absolutely stunning and better in person. I have more millefiori glass if interested. Millefiori glass is a decorative glass that gets its name from the Italian "thousand flowers" and features a distinctive flower-like pattern. The technique involves heating and fusing bundles of colored glass rods into a thick rod, which is then sliced into small disks called "murrine". These disks are applied to hot glass, reheated, and then blown to create a brilliantly colored, intricately designed piece of glassware. After that this was acid washed to get that satin texture and look.
