    Description

    This is a vintage piece of a hand blown bunch of grapes or similar fruit mounted on a branch.    They are slightly abstract in construction.  There are 8 complete pieces and three more "grapes" that are broken off.  There are two leaves.  One is complete and the other is missing the small tip at the end.  There is a little wear on this leaf also.  it is rough on the edge in spots and on one side in spots.
    There are air bubbles in some of the grapes and in the large leaf.  There are no cracks or chips in any of the complete grapes.  The tape used for covering the wires that are all gathered together at the stem end is loose, but it could be easily recovered.
    There is no manufacturer or artist information on the item, but the piece belonged to an very elderly glass collector.   It is most likely Murano hand blown glass from the 1950's-60's.
    Overall length is 8 inches.  Overall width is 4 inches.
    Seller will ship first class with insurance or priority-- buyer's choice.
