Murano MOP "herringbone"
















A striking piece of Venetian art glass, these rainbow Mother of Pearl items are frequently mistaken for Mt. Washington pieces. Superb quality with a velvety satin glass finish, the herringbone pattern is evenly spaced with no broken or bruised air traps. Delicate satin glass ribbed handle with no heat checks. Cased white glass on the inside with a pontil mark on base. Stands 9 inches tall with the stopper. This is the correct stopper but likely not the original one. Circa 1956-1964.
