multicolored terraced vase on silver leaf
12 inches tall. 9 inches wide (around). 1/4 inch thick glass. Multicoloured veins engrained in the glass vase against a clear silverish background. Solid bottom in a dark red with the telltale of the stub where the glass was broken off during the making. Quite a bulbous middle that tapers up to a neck that then fans out making the glass vase shape. Original certificate and proof of purchase from 2003 is with the vase. Bought from Italy (Murano) for €700 from Maestro Vetraio Impressio Rossi "Pei". Can provide pictures.
My mother purchased it from Murano Italy while she was working on a private yacht in 2003. Its now been handed down to me.
