Physical DescriptionTranslucent emerald green glass with opaque yellow and opaque red canes, bubbly, with heavily pitted surface, yellow cane appears to be strain cracked; millefiori or mosaic glass technique. Rounded rim, wall spread down into a shallow shape, the vessel seems to be formed of large groups of random yellow canes arranged in a green matrix around a central red cane; many groups are slumped and several are distorted.Provenance
