Italian, Venice
Vase, 19th century
Glass, 35.5 cm (14 in.)
This glass Italian vase is taller than it is wide. It has an oval body that tapers slightly at the neck. The lip of the vase is made up of four waves so that the opening appears square in shape. While mostly made of clear glass, streaks of white dot the vase in an upward, curving pattern. The streaks on the top right of the vase appear black in the lighting.
