About the Item

This exquisite lavender art glass dish was handblown in Italy by V.A.N. Crystal during the mid-20th century, a period celebrated for its innovation in Murano-inspired glass design. The piece showcases a soft purple-lavender tone with delicate swirled edges that fold outward in a sculptural form, embodying the elegance of Italian craftsmanship. Its layered glass construction, combining a milky-white interior with translucent lavender accents, highlights the traditional Venetian cased glass technique, where multiple layers of glass are fused to achieve depth and luminosity. Versatile in use, this dish was originally conceived as an ashtray but is equally suitable as a decorative bowl or catchall, making it a striking addition to any mid-century modern interior. Each piece from V.A.N. Crystal was handmade, ensuring subtle variations that speak to the artistry of its creation. The fluid form and luminous color reflect the influence of Murano’s renowned glassblowing traditions, making it a collectible piece of Italian art glass history. The dish remains in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. It is both functional and decorative, ideal for collectors, design lovers, or anyone seeking a unique statement piece. Our orders are carefully packed and shipped within 24–48 hours for safe delivery. Check our listings for more unique vintage glassware and Italian finds.
