Vetreria Barbieri Attributed Opaline Glass Pitcher - 10 inches tall. A hand-blown cased glass pitcher featuring a bulbous body and a tapered neck with a slightly flared rim.

The exterior is decorated with organic pulled swirls and splatter patterns in shades of amber, dark chocolate brown, and subtle streaks of cobalt blue. A single clear glass handle is applied to the side. The overall aesthetic is characteristic of mid-20th-century Italian art glass from the Murano region, specifically resembling the Florence or Fiorentina patterns associated with Vetreria Barbieri. The base is ground flat and polished. No signatures or maker marks are visible; a modern barcode tag is attached to the handle. Height: [To be confirmed] Width: [To be confirmed].
