Salviati Antique Zanfirico Blue, White, Aventurine order Glass Plate

Handblown Salviati glass plate from the late 1800s, with lovely alternating zanfirico in blue, white, and sparkly aventurine radiating out from the center. The rim order of the plate is aventurine. The base has a 5-point pontil mark. Made in the 1890s era, it is very thin and finely crafted. This is a fine example of the skill and artistry of the glass artisans of Murano. It measures 7 1/2" Dia and sits about 1 1/2" High. Perfect condition.

This piece will magically have different looks depending on the lighting.
