Murano Millefiori Thousand Flowers Hand Blown Glass Satin Easter Egg w/ Base 7”

Rare Vintage 7” Murano Millefiori “Thousand Flowers” Hand Blown Glass Satin Easter Egg w/ Frosted Glass Base Made In Italy - Satin Acid Washed. This is considered to be the larger size of the millefiori Easter eggs measuring 7” tall on the base and almost 5.5” without. This is in excellent vintage shape no chips or cracks. 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.
