Description: VINTAGE MURANO SCULPTED GLASS ALLIGATOR BOWL CREATED BY ALFREDO BARBINI FOR VAMSA LATE 1930's. MONSTER SIZE MEASURES 5 1/2 INCHES TALL AND 10 INCHES IN DIAMETER. GLASS WALLS ARE 2 INCHES THICK. WEIGHS OVER 15 POUNDS. TRANSPARENT GLASS THAT FADRES TO GREEN WITH GREEN ALLIGATOR. HAS SOME LARGE BUBBLES AND LOTS OF GOLD DUST. WELL DOCUMENTED IN A FEW DIFFERENT REFERENCE BOOKS INCLUDING ANIMALS IN GLASS. SO THERE IS AN IMPERFECTION. THE BACKSIDE BOTTOM PART OF THE BOWL HAS PRODUCTION IMPERFECTIONS/DEFECT. ANNEALING FISSURES. THESE ARE INTERNAL WITH NO RIDGES. YOU CAN NOT FEEL THEM WITH YOUR FINGERNAIL. IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE ELONGATED BUBBLES BUT I THINK THESE ARE FROM THE ANNEALING PROCESS. WHATEVER THE CASE, THERE ARE NO IMPACTS OR DINGS. NO CHIPS. THERE ARE A FEW SURFACE ABRASIONS FROM THE YEARS. THE ONLY OTHER EXAMPLE OF THE ALLIGATOR BOWL I COULD FIND ONLINE HAD THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE. THE BOWL DISPLY'S VERY NICELY. UNLESS YOU LOOK FOR THE FISSURES, YOU DO NOT SEE THEM WHEN DISPLYED. BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND WEIGHT, WINNING BIDDER TO PAY 35.00 SHIPPING AND INSURANCE. THIS ITEM IS AVAILABLE FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS THROUGH THE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM.
