 This lovely amber Murano glass vase is made by hand, not only with  coloured murrines, but also with fragments of aventurine. Aventurine, or "Avventurina"  was considered to be a precious metal during the 19th century, accessible only to the very wealthy. It's made from metal oxides, and the process of creating these tiny copper-coloured flecks is very lengthy and expensive. This is a very luxurious item which will give you pleasure for many years to come.
