This is a vintage Murano style glass piece.....a style of glass known for it's vibrant and beautiful swirls of color. This particular piece has a slightly iridescent quality that makes it a stand out in any room. Its cascading colors are gold, to green, to brown. Being round it's hard to give it an exact measurement, but it's a generous 6 inches in height....and circumference. Extra note....if you look at the last photo, the globe is darker. to get a brighter photo, I've placed a light inside the base. The effect is too good to miss! For my purposes I've simply used one of those battery powered lights....try that, you might like it. 🙂
