Murano Vintage Glass Tray

About the Item

Mid century mirror engraved glass serving tray. This wonderful piece was produced in Italy during the 1940’s. The mirror has romantic Venetian characters and picturesque countryside landscapes. This iconic vanity tray has handles, a rectangular mirror top with rounded corners which have been skilfully ground with stone wheels. The etching usually shows a courtship scene depicting a courtly couple dressed in their finest clothes in a landscape or formal garden with architectural elements. The upper edge of the mirror is decorated with a blue twisted glass cord. The handles are of excellent gilded bronze casting, again with a twisted cord motif. Beneath the mirror is a thin wooden base. The artisans were inspired by models created by Barovier & Toso, a Murano glass company in Venice whose activity began in the mid 12th century and is one of the oldest companies in the world that produces pieces of extraordinary workmanship and beauty. There is a tiny chip on the underside edge of the mirror (see last photo).
