Murano Glass Blue and White Swirl Bud Vase navajo owl in Japanese--made of native clay

in Japanese--made of native clay and known for its bold designs

teal green matte glaze

and certainly a great conversation piece anywhere

I am guessing mid 19th century

Only recently did I learn--through my mother's sleuthing of pottery marks--that it was made by Michael Cohen

Murano Glass Blue and White Swirl Bud Vase navajo owl in Japanese--made of native clayThis lovely little vintage Murano vase has a striped swirl pattern of thin bands of white alternating with threads of aquamarine blue color. Very finely made, it's the perfect little bud vase for a vanity or small bedside table. I think it would be especially nice with a few sprigs of lily of the valley, a couple of daisies, or one white rose. 2. 75" tall, with a diameter of 2. 25" at widest. Perfect condition.
