VTG Italian Venezia Gilded Gold Leaf CRYSTAL Compote w/Gondola etching RARE

VINTAGE VENEZIA GILDED GOLD CRYSTAL COMPOTE - AUTHENTIC ITALIAN PEDESTAL BOWL (IMAGE OF A GONDOLA ABOVE "VENEZIA MADE IN ITALY" ETCHED ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE PEDESTAL) What makes this item rare: Most of the comparable eBay items aren't gold-gilded and don't have a pedestal. Those that do are selling on high end antique websites for approx $200 USD!! *This is likely a Murano piece but can't be listed as such due to the lack of sticker or marking. Murano pieces are exclusively produced from a very specific furnace in Italy, making the value significantly higher!! This is a truly elegant and well-identified vintage centerpiece crafted from brilliant CRYSTAL- perfect for collectors of high-quality Italian ware. Key Features: Measures approximately 5" in diameter, 4" tall. * Authenticated Origin: The metallic gold pedestal base is clearly marked "VENEZIA made in Italy" with a distinct Gondola logo (difficult to photograph, but you can see the etching in the image). This is an authentic piece from a Venetian producer. * Stunning Design: Features a clear, thick-walled crystal bowl decorated with a beautiful, hand-painted Gold Leaf/Vine motif (often referred to as the tree of life design) * Hollywood Regency Style: Sits on a striking metallic gold pedestal base, giving it a luxurious, glamorous, and collectible Mid-Century Modern (MCM) look (likely 1960s/70s). * Versatile Use: Perfect for a high-end wrapped candy dish, a dramatic centerpiece, or a vanity catch-all
