Amazing Vintage 1930's
Murano 🇮🇹 Venetian
Italian Art Glass
Zanfirico
(Filigrana/Latticino, Aventurine, Retortoli)
Toothpick Holder
Made in
Murano, Italy
• DIMENSIONS: 2½" high (6.35 cm) x 2" w
• CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition! No damage.
COLLECTORS: Here is a gorgeous little, old Murano Fratelli Toso zanfirico toothpick holder/vase in classic style with the old SATIN finish! On a clear satin ground we have lattimo white latticino filigree, alternating with lovely Royal blue twisted retortoli edged with copper aventurine. Visually brilliant! Tremendous amount of activity in a small package. We show it in warm and cool lighting to display its full color range. Base was made ground flat and pontil scar is ground concave. Base shows the expected shelf-wear of it's 90-year age (c.~pre-1940s). Several seed bubbles can be seen. Excellent addition to an art glass or toothpick holder collection, or a thoughtful gift for a special person--including yourself, of course!
FULL CONDITION REPORT: We thoroughly inspected this piece and found that no cracks, chips, nicks, scuffs, flea bites, flakes, hairlines, significant scratches (located other than weight-bearing base), repairs, stains, residue, odors, evidence of grinding or signs of restoration could be seen or felt. Any natural indentations, bubbles, tool marks, carbon/ash deposits, and/or any other natural textural features are all original and normal for hand blown glass. Wear to base is normal and consistent with advanced age. Please review all high resolution photos, at full size, in forming your own opinions.

PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY: Photos are considered part of the listing description. We try to give you as close to an "in-person" view as possible. That said, we shoot items in as best light and angle as shows their true beauty. Any unusual white or yellow spots you may perceive on a photo are usually glare, due to our photographic technique, unless otherwise noted. If necessary for accuracy, we color-correct photos to match the actual item to our computer monitor--yours may vary. We try to show complex pieces in a variety of lighting conditions in an effort to exhibit the full range of the piece's actual appearance. Should you desire additional shots or specific lighting conditions, or clarification on an image, please feel free to send a note through the eBay system! Photos are NOT representative of actual size. Please view all high-resolution photographs--at 100%. Any other object is included for scale only. Close-up photos will always tend to show and exaggerate minor defects. Please keep this in mind: defects seen at 100% resolution may not even be visible with the naked eye! If you have questions please ask before bidding!
NORMAL WEAR: Vintage or antique items will undoubtedly show minor signs of normal wear and/or patina. When we find exceptional wear, manufacturer's defects, damage and/or repairs, they will ALWAYS be noted in the description. Minor usage marks will not be remarkable.
OPINION: Description and condition statements are always our opinion, based on our combined knowledge, experience, and research. Statements regarding maker, age, origin, etc. particularly on unmarked pieces, should be evaluated and confirmed by you the buyer, as you are the final judge. We are not experts on each item. If you know something we have omitted or misstated, please contact us to share. We strive for 100% accuracy! Your help is always welcome and appreciated!

Worldwide Shipping
Most international sales are sent by
eBay's Global Shipping Program (GSP)
eBay calculates all shipping and import charges. These are not controlled by the seller. Shipping is automatically calculated to your address. Nothing should be due on delivery! Any taxes or fees levied by your government are paid by you in advance! Please consult your local listing for eBay's shipping calculation to your address. PLEASE NOTE: International sales through the GSP will be governed by eBay rules for handling. There will be no partial refunds considered.
OTHER OPTIONS: If there are other international shipping options listed, they will NOT include any additional fees, i.e. import fees or customs duties that your country may assess. Any such charges are the responsibility of the buyer exclusively--to know the amount due and to pay it--when outside the GSP. We are expressly not liable for any country's import taxes. These are not "additional shipping" fees. They are essentially your country's taxes on imported goods. We mark all international items with accurate sales figures, without exception. Thank you for reading and your act of purchase assures us that you understand these regulations and that they are completely out of our direct control.
Straight forward and Easy!
