This elegant vanity mirror tray is an exquisite example of Venetian craftsmanship by Vetreria Venier, one of Murano’s most refined contemporary glass ateliers. The piece features a mirrored base meticulously hand-engraved with a romantic figurative scene: a gentleman and a lady in 18th-century attire, set within a delicate landscape of foliage and stylized botanical elements. The engraving is executed with traditional wheel-engraving techniques, revealing remarkable control, finesse, and depth. The mirror is mounted on a wooden support, as customary in high-quality Venetian production, ensuring stability while preserving the reflective clarity of the glass. Surrounding the tray is a sculptural border in twisted clear, shaped with precision and exhibiting the characteristic tactile richness of Murano workmanship. Two finely modeled gilt brass handles complete the composition, adding a decorative accent that enhances both the visual presence and the functionality of the piece. Their sculptural forms highlight the artisanal metalwork often associated with luxury Venetian accessories of the mid-20th century. Founded in the 1970s by master glassmaker Enzo Laggia, Vetreria Venier is renowned for its artistic approach, small-scale production, and collaborations with some of Murano’s most respected maestros. Original Venier label preserved on the mirror. This tray reflects the atelier’s distinctive blend of traditional Venetian techniques and refined decorative aesthetics. A sophisticated vanity accessory or a distinctive decorative object, it is ideal for displaying perfumes, jewelry, or cherished collectibles. Its hand-engraved surface makes it a unique and atmospheric addition to any interior setting. Excellent vintage condition with light, expected signs of age. Dimensions:37 × 26 × x. 4 cm (14.56 × 10.23 × h. 1.57 in.).
