This exquisite hand-blown Murano glass lantern, crafted in Venice circa 1940, features a central band of rigadin glass columns framed by foliate-style embellishments and raised detailing. The upper and lower registers are supported by elegant, sculptural elements that highlight the refined artistry of mid-century Venetian lighting.

The crown, center dish, and base are accented with finely cast gilt bronze inserts, adding warmth and contrast to the crystal clarity of the glass. Now wired for U.S. current, this rare piece is ideal for collectors of Murano chandeliers, Italian Art Deco lighting, or vintage Venetian glass lanterns with architectural presence.
