    Any Italian glass peeps here??
    Is this Scavo? Older? Newer? Pier1/Chinese?
    6” by 6”. Amethyst to dark gray. One rough clear handle. Rough sharp pontil. Applied diamond/lattice around base. No signature.
    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    I was ready to say I thought it was meant to look like an antiquity but would be very, very careful in coming to that conclusion. Then decided to look up 'scavo' first. Glad I did. This looks like a useful resource:

    https://www.muranonet.com/en-us/blogs/glossary/scavo

    "This is a glass that imitates the effect caused by long periods spent underground, typical of glass objects found during archaeological diggings: ancient glass acquires a dusty patina from minerals trickling through groundwater and etching the surface."

    After scrolling through pix of a number of Roman examples, think you are correct to see this as modern.
