This is one large example of Fratelli Toso vase from twenties, it is 23cm high or a bit more than 9in. Usually they come in heights which are half of this one. As is obvious by the repair, the handles are the weak spot of this vase and it probably is good idea never to touch them, most Fratelli vases of that era have some kind of repair to handles, that is a good indication of their fragility.

stunning and very beautiful:)
Thank You all for the loves and Thank You Bellin for kind words and appreciation!
your very welcome MacArt:)
Thank you MacArt for the advice on my millefiori vase! I was very unsure when I unwrapped it but never having owned one before was not certain. It seems that the millefiori is not within the glass and that it is what you tell me - a recent copy from Eastern Europe! Many thanks for the advice, luckily I never paid too much for it, but it has been an important learning curve, but would still like to own a real one!
