Conchiglia Small Zoomorphic Green Glass Vase

Sinuosly flaring to a scalloped rim, this superb mouth-blown glass vase reveals its distinctive inspiration from sea shells. Its extensive "balloton" texture - obtained by following the eponymous method in which the glass is mouth blown into a truncated-cone-shaped mold with pointy tips - is embellished by precious gold leaf accents for a mesmerizing general sheen.
