Murano Hand Blown Glass Basket – Purple Ribbon Swirl with Gold Aventurine

This hand blown Murano glass basket is a standout piece—light-catching, sculptural, and full of character. Made using traditional Venetian techniques, it features a purple ribbon swirl suspended in clear glass, with flecks of gold aventurine adding a warm shimmer throughout.

The clear twisted handle is finished with applied floral terminals, and the scalloped rim and shell-shaped foot bring just the right amount of ornamentation. A beautiful mix of form and craftsmanship, it works perfectly as a centerpiece, catchall, or display object on a shelf or sideboard. This would be beautiful on a vanity with vintage perfume bottles.
