    I'm looking for some collector feedback on this vintage art glass piece that's been sitting in storage for a while.

    It stands about 10.5 inches tall to the top of the scrolled handles. It features an acid-etched/matte olive green finish with a colorful patch of glass inclusions on the front body. The base has a prominent rough, snapped-off pontil mark and some faint, hand-etched inventory numbers along the edge.

    From what I can tell, it strongly matches the Anforetta style and screziato/macchie technique produced by the Venetian firm Francesco Ferro e Figlio around 1880–1890.

    Has anyone here encountered this specific series or scale before? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the piece, its rarity, or any documentation you might have seen in reference books.I have posted thus vase on a glass site, just trying to find out any information.
