A vibrant, rich green body is embellished on the interior with a series of diagonal internal air bubbles, known as a bolle, and a myriad of wavy lines of gold powder, known as aventurine. Two crimped colourless glass trails have been expertly applied, giving the vase symmetry and helping to date it to the late 1930s. The high quality of the piece is also indicated by the application of a thin colourless rim (see detail image).

Due to the form, colour, and combination of techniques, this piece is attributed to the famed furnaces at A.Ve.M (Arte Vetreria Muranese), founded in 1932.

As well as sparkling as you view the piece from different angles, the aventurine appears to fade in and out of view in areas, depending on the viewer's angle, and thus adds an extra optical effect. The result is a bold, opulent and luxurious design, full of the style, colour and pizazz of the Art Deco era.
