Description

Solid black handle is attached to heavy cased glass bowl with intentional bubbles and a generous amount of silver/platinum foil flecks. Outer glass layer is colorless, inner layer is a deep cherry red.
These useful whimsey’s were made by many Italian makers. This one is was made by one of the finer Murano/Venetian/Italian glass blowers, very nice quality.
