DescriptionThis is a tall vase with a bulbous base rising to a long, narrow neck of blue and red vertical wide stripes of INCALMO glass. There is a lip on the top of the vase. The vase is similar to the Millefili technique, but not in shape. It is also simmilar to Venini's INCALMO technique of altering stripes of translucent and transparent glass.
