This exquisite dish possesses a deep, jewel-toned emerald presence, shaped into a soft organic form with a sculptural pulled rim. The interior is meticulously hand-decorated with raised white enamel scrolls and a central gilded floral motif that catches light with remarkable depth and translucency. Its vibrant color and delicate hand-painted textures create a compelling decorative impact, functioning as a luminous jewel for any surface.
Attribution & Period
Stylistically aligned with Mid-Century Venetian art glass, specifically the hand-painted traditions of Murano, Italy. The application of raised enamel and heavy gold leaf accents is consistent with the decorative techniques popularized in the 1950s. While no factory mark is observed, the material quality and artisanal execution are characteristic of high-end Italian export glass from this era.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 1 in
Width / Diameter: 3.5 in
Depth / Base Diameter: 3 in
Weight: 0.192 lbs
Condition
Clinical and excellent. The hand-painted enamel and gilded borders remain in exceptional state with no observed loss or wear to the pigment. A minor, superficial scratch is present on the base consistent with light shelf use. No chips, cracks, or structural repairs are present. Of particular interest to collectors, the glass exhibits a vibrant green reaction under 365nm UV light, confirming the presence of manganese.
Authenticity & Construction
This piece was hand-formed and hand-painted, evidenced by the slight asymmetry of the pulled rim and the tactile, raised quality of the enamel work. The glass composition includes manganese, a common element in mid-century glass recipes, which provides the distinctive UV reaction and speaks to its authentic period chemistry.
Placement
Ideally suited as a vibrant accent piece on a mahogany desk, a marble vanity, or within a curated glass collection. Its small scale and high-chroma finish make it an excellent choice for adding a "pop" of architectural color to a minimalist interior.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE; This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
