Murano Amber Uraium Vase
This is a large uranium Murano vase. It was purchased by my parents on one of their trips to Italy, probably from the 50’s or 60’s. There are no chips in the glass. One of the images uploaded, includes two other Murano pieces- one smaller vase and a rooster. The smaller vase did not light up, showing the urnaium, as the larger piece, I am including here for appraisal.
The dimensions are: 14 ¾” long- from tip to the floor.; From tip to tip- across- 7 ½ ”; 15 ½’’ around the base; Weight 5.3 kg. The dimensions may not be exact.
