Hand Blown Murano Glass Box in Onyx Black W/24 Karat Gold Flecks
Hand Blown Murano Glass Box in Onyx Black W/24 Karat Gold Flecks
This stunning modernist decorative box was realized in Murano, Italy- the island off the coast of Venice renowned for centuries for its superlative glass production. It features a volumetric rectangular body with a translucent Murano glass exterior and an onyx glass interior imbued with a wealth of 24kt gold flecks. The lips of the box- where the top and bottom- adjoin are finished with a rectilinear brass border which perfectly compliments the tonality of the gold and testifies to the fact that no detail (no matter how minute) was overlooked in their fastidious construction. With their clean modernist lines, exquisite Murano glass, and refined color palate, this box is as much a functional vessel ideal for presenting small keepsakes, as an objet d'art in its own right that promises to beautify any surface that it graces. It is in excellent condition.
