Hand-blown in the Fenicio technique — thick cobalt blue glass with distinct black swirls applied and worked into the body during blowing — this compact bottle has the satisfying weight and depth of quality Italian glass. From the estate of a Murano glass collector. No identifying sticker remains, but the technique and quality are consistent with legitimate Murano work. One available.

As a bud vase, a desk accent, or a shelf piece that holds its own among other collected glass — a natural gift for a Murano collector or a lover of cobalt glass.

The Fenicio technique takes its name from the Phoenician glassmaking traditions that inspired it, and remains one of Murano's more distinctive decorative methods — swirled colored glass worked into a base color while the piece is still molten, giving each finished object its own unrepeatable pattern.
