Italian: Murano Gold Aventurine Glass Charger

Large vintage Murano-style gold aventurine art glass charger — Tiger Stripe pattern, made in Italy, 1960s–1970s.

A magnificent oversized vintage art glass centrepiece charger featuring a striking Tiger Stripe swirl pattern in rich amber, chocolate, and cream tones, heavily infused with Aventurina (suspended copper crystals) that gives the glass a brilliant shimmering gold effect in light. Unsigned — consistent with mid-century Venetian work from Murano, attributed to the V. Nason & C. workshop. Pristine condition — no chips, flea bites, or scratches.

Did you Know?

Aventurina — the shimmering gold-tone copper crystal technique used in this charger — is one of the most sophisticated and expensive specialties of Venetian glassmaking, rarely mimicked with authenticity in mass-produced replicas. The absence of a signature does not diminish a Murano piece; experts instead look for physical DNA markers: a polished pontil mark confirming hand-blowing, genuine Aventurina copper flecks fused within the glass body, Scagliola layering of coloured canes twisted while molten, and the refined weight balance that only a master glassblower achieves when working a 42cm charger on a pontil rod. These markers are all present in this piece.
