This a rare example of a shell form sculpural piece, made by Barovier in lavender and gold. The hand blown, organically shaped shell centerpiece with gold leaf inclusions and undulating lines of thick ribbed glass sits atop a stand of shells and underwater sea life makes a dramatic statement both as a focal point in a tablesetting or on display. 9 1/2" tall, 14" long and 7" wide, ca. 1930's
