DescriptionThis is a clear round vase decorated with light green RETICELLO glass criss-crossed throughout the vase. There are tiny trapped air bubbles within the center of each area of clear glass. The vase has applied LATTIMO black handles and base, both sprayed with a gold dusting of glass. One handle is slightly damaged.The use of RETICELLO decoration derives from the Venetian tradition, yet the shape and color combination of green and black are very much in the art deco spirit.
