### Short Description

Large decorative art glass vase measuring approximately **14” tall x 8” wide**, featuring a smoky gray lower body with metallic aventurine-style inclusions and a white spiral latticino/filigrana-style upper body. The vase has a flared rim, rounded base, and an internal folded/pinched waist transition visible from the inside.

### Full Description

Offered is a large and striking **Murano / Venetian style art glass vase**, measuring approximately **14 inches tall by 8 inches wide**. The vase features a bold smoky gray lower section with scattered copper-gold aventurine-style inclusions, transitioning into a white spiral-threaded upper body with a soft translucent appearance.

The upper portion displays fine diagonal white glass threads in a latticino or filigrana-style effect, giving the piece a strong sense of movement. The lower body has a smoky gray cased-glass appearance with suspended metallic flecks and mottled internal texture. The form is tall and rounded with a flared rim and a recessed polished base.

A notable construction detail is the **folded/pinched waist area around the body**, visible from the interior and expressed visually around the exterior as a horizontal transition line. This appears to be part of the glassmaking/forming process rather than damage, and it is not sharply feelable on the exterior.

This is an impressive display piece with strong decorative presence, suitable for collectors of Italian, Murano-style, Venetian-style, or contemporary studio art glass.

### Condition Report

Good overall pre-owned condition. No major cracks or large chips observed. Rim appears clean in the photos. The body shows normal minor surface wear consistent with handling and display. Base shows typical shelf wear/polishing marks. There are some small dark specks/inclusions visible within or on the glass, consistent with handblown/art glass production and age/use.

The horizontal waist line is noted as a **formed fold/pinch transition visible inside the vase**, not a felt exterior crack. Please review all photos closely for condition and details.
