The vase is executed in 'bluino' colour glass with details and base applied in blue glass. Since 1910, C.V.M. (Compagnia di Venezia e Murano) began retailing glassworks by other Muranese glasswork companies and used to sign these including them in its collection. The C.V.M. acid signature could have been inscribed at a different date from that of the glass execution. This vase was designed and produced for the M.V.M. (Maestri Vetrai Muranesi) Cappellin & C..
