Small antique Murano glass chalcedony vase, circa 1900 – Spiral decoration

A small antique Murano glass chalcedony vase, dating from around 1900 , made using the traditional Venetian technique of blending metallic oxides into the glass to achieve a unique marbled effect reminiscent of hard stones. The vase features beautiful swirls in midnight blue, turquoise, ochre, and ivory , typical of chalcedony production from the late 19th and very early 20th centuries.

Its slender neck is adorned with a spiral glass appliqué (hot-applied filigree), added manually according to Muranasian tradition. Every detail—internal bubbles, color variations, marbled striations—confirms its entirely handcrafted, blown-glass construction .

A beautiful collector's item, ideal for complementing an Art Nouveau set, a cabinet of curiosities or a specialized collection of antique Murano glass.
