A stunning Italian Venetian mid-century ruby glass dolphin stem bowl made on Murano. The bowl stands raised on a wide round texture molded foot with a folded edge rim with a centrally mounted dolphin stem with a raised tail supporting a fan shaped textured glass top with a raised frill applied rim. The bowl and base are made in ruby tinted glass with the dolphin and top frill rim crafted in clear glass with gold aventurine inclusions.
