This rare 19th Century Venetian Pietro Bigaglia and Jacopo Franchini Murrine* glass scent bottle dates circa 1850. The bottle with a vibrant silver aventurine glass background and swirling hues of blue and white. The body with a total of eight star-shaped canes also known as murrine inclusions.

The neck adorned with a gilt metal hinged cap topped with a red glass jewel. The hinged lid opening to reveal the original cork and black glass stopper.
