Vintage Murano Glass Ribbon or Filigrana Dish
Blue Ribbons, Spun in Murano
Small? Yes. Shy? Absolutely not.
This little lidded dish was hand-blown on Murano, the Venetian island where glassmakers were once famously forbidden to leave the Republic (trade secrets were guarded like crown jewels). Lucky for us, the secrets stayed, and so did the swirls. Fine threads of cobalt blue and milky white twist through the glass like ribbons on a present you don't want to unwrap too quickly.
Lift the lid and the spiral carries on, a tiny optical illusion that keeps your eye going round and round. It dates from the early to mid-20th century, that golden moment when Italian makers decided everyday objects deserved to be beautiful too. We couldn't agree more.
Put it on your dressing table for rings, earrings and that one cufflink still waiting for its partner. Fill it with bonbons or amaretti on the coffee table (for guests who behave). Or let it sit on a shelf all on its own, catching the light like a sweet from a Venetian candy shop.
At 9 cm high and 13 cm wide, it sits happily in the palm of your hand and travels beautifully. It's in good condition, with no chips or cracks, only the soft signs of a life well lived, because a piece like this was always meant to be used, not hidden away.

Please keep in mind that in many cases we sell vintage and antique pieces. None of these pieces should be considered new or in perfect condition.
All of our vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use. We restore our pieces so they will be clean and in a good working condition. However we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The physical object can differ slightly in colour from the object as presented online. We have made every effort to display colours accurately, but cannot guarantee that the pictures accurately reflect the colour of those goods in real life.
