A pretty vintage Murano art glass vase... It showcases white zanfirico lattice-like canes, with red and white ribbons alternating either side, cased in clear glass. The small curvy piece is beautifully formed, handmade and mouth blown in Italy. I'm guessing at 1960s mid-century vintage as this is when this sort of work was produced. 
Zanfirico is a technique invented by glass makers on the Venetian island of Murano, Italy. Zanfirico glass consists of fine filigree canes which have been stretched and twisted to form beautiful lattice patterns. The name Zanfirico derives from the surname of a 19th century Italian art dealer, Antonio Sanquirico. Many Murano glass manufacturers use Zanfirico canes in their glassware production, including Venini, Aureliano Toso, Archimede Seguso, Fratelli Toso, and AVeM. This piece is likely by Salviati or Nason due to the simpler shape and minimal use of colour.
Just 7.8cm tall x 8cm wide. Very good condition with no chips, some tiny bubbles within. Rough pontil to the base. Quite thin lightweight blown glass. A small ornamental piece of stylish mid century art glass - perfect for a red interior.
