I believe it was made by Murano artisans. The style seems to Venetian alchemical or esoteric traditions maybe even hermetic. Features blue and white swirling patterns, open crown-like top suggest symbolic energy flow. Twisting base could resemble an ouroboros-like cycle, reinforcing eternal transformation and energy containment. Single Pontil Mark, it also has original iron chain and ring from containing entities. Chain has a ring have elder Futhark runes an hermetic alchemy symbols all handmade dating potentially 600hundred years. Pristine glass with bubbles also has secret candle activated light forces to the center of crown

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I've found several versions of this spiral trumpet vase - all from Murano - but none have markings or attributions to a particular shop. When they sell at auction, they usually bring between $200-300; note this will be less than what private sellers or antiques dealers may list comparable items they are selling.
I don't think the chain originally went with the vase/vessel and can't explain what you're describing as "energy" though I suppose a chemical test of the glass might identify an element that is reacting to the chain?
My value is on the glass vessel and does not include the chain.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage Murano hand blown Art Glass gray/blue and white spiral trumpet or claw goblet vase

The chain is not attached but at some point they ended up together. When I pulled it out originally I didn’t know it was even there just had a feeling to do it and reach in. Since I did both of the objects now produce energies. Not sure how much you’re willing to believe but definitely linked by energy. It’s been interesting lately the temperature where I store them is significantly colder and feels thicker. The space doesn’t even have air conditioning and it gets definitely more cold than the ones that do. I sent other pictures the light tests just in case you didn’t see them when light hits the side in a dark room you can see how the light reflects. Since it’s dark you can see the path the light goes from the shadow it casts on the wall. The light travels inward to focus in the center of the object not sure but the shadows aren’t straight at all and almost seem to resonate. Under black light the points of the crown become what look to be like faces of phantoms that connect equally to create six standing around the focus point. There’s others things but not related to objects. Also wanted to thank you for your time and I’m interested to hear what you think about it ?
