This vase has it all! A gorgeous red color that changes shade with the light from rich ruby to paler ruby like cabochon cut. It has, very well-arranged bubbles, flattened between the two layers; each bubble, rimmed with and then covered with gold. The layers are slightly pearlescent lattimo white that becomes thicker on the way down and the red layer is speckled with gold flecks. There are 3 wave-tyle cristallo rings around the mouth, the shoulders and the base. They all speckled with gold. There are 16 ribs, quite subtle, giving more dimension to the classic mid-century design body. Has a tight snap-cut pontil mark right in the middle of the bottom, where all the ribs end. Bubbles are big BB size arrayed in concentric circles. Appears as if Barovier uses the thickness of the lattimo layer to effect to shade of the reds. Probably c1950 or older. In flawless condition; very rare with all the cristallo rigaree* details so easy to ding.
