Here is a magnificent 1950/60's Venetian freeform glass sculpture bowl, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. Most likely made by the Cristallo Venezia CCC glassworks. Very similar pieces with the same star shaped base can be found online with labels that read "Cristallo Venezia, CCC". To see some labelled examples, please see my Pinterest board here. In a stunning combination of royal blue glass encased in paler ice blue glass, using the Venetian developed sommerso technique.
