Description

This is a magnificent Venetian glass miniature decorative teacup, circa 1900 - 1914, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. Made by Fratelli Toso, similar items are shown in the book 'Venetian Glass - Confections in Glass 1855 - 1914' by Sheldon Barr, pages 114 - 119. Made up of many blue, yellow & white floral millefiori murrine canes.

Size

Measures approx 2.25 inches tall by 3.5 inches in diameter at widest point.

Condition

I've examined this piece carefully, and aside from the usual small black specks found on this type of glass, the only fault I can find is a small pale area on the handle, shown in final picture. In all honesty I can't decide what this is exactly, it could be a minor fracture created when the glass cooled, or maybe an air bubble.
