This mid-century Italian treasure features a delicate, thread-like latticino texture and a soft bell silhouette grounded by a hand-applied pink ruffled base.
This exquisite Italian perfume bottle is a masterclass in the Latticino technique, a signature of the legendary glassmakers on the island of Murano. The vessel is meticulously crafted with spiraling ribbons of white "lattimo" glass intertwined with vibrant pink and yellow threads, creating a delicate filigree cage within the translucent walls. This complex process involves fusing together rods of colored glass and twisting them while molten to achieve the rhythmic, swirling symmetry seen here. Topped with a substantial clear glass stopper infused with shimmering gold aventurine flecks, the bottle exudes a refined, mid-century Venetian elegance.
The round, generous silhouette of this piece makes it a standout addition to a vanity or a curated shelf in The Boudoir. Its intricate texture and bright, candy-colored palette allow it to transition seamlessly between a Contemporary display and a more Bohemian & eclectic collection. Because it is in excellent condition, the internal ribbons remain sharp and the surface is free of any clouding or scratches. It serves as a sophisticated testament to the enduring artistry of Italian glassblowing, offering a tactile and visual richness that modern, mass-produced bottles cannot replicate. It is a timeless gift for a collector of art glass or a lover of high-end vintage accessories.
Details: Measures about 4" in height by 3" wide. Excellent condition.
