Vintage, 1960s, hand blown Venetian amber glass Decanter with 2 scenes of Venice (one on either side) in silver overlay. This Italian bottle measures 9" high and 4" in diameter ( 3" diameter base ) and weighs a hefty 1 Lb. Includes original pyramid-shaped stopper that has silver overlay stripe trims. The silver overlay has been executed in a fine sketch style showing a view of the city from the water with a pair of gondola docking poles in the foreground and reaching across the lagoon to the city skyline and sky of puffy clouds. On the opposite side of the decanter is another scene taken from the banks of a canal with poles and a lamppost in the foreground and across the water, another skyline on one side and a sailing gondola on the other. The artist framed the scenes with baroque style scroll and crosshatch work and trimmed the top and bottom edges of the bottle in silver bands. Overall, in very good vintage condition, with slight patina to the silver overlay. NO cracks, chips or breaks. Some bubbles in the glass that are original to the blowing. See photos for details. Clean and ready to use. Packed in a double box for shipping. A lovely addition to a bar or makes a perfect gift for a fan of Venice or as a souvenir reminder of a trip.
