Vintage Italian Cranberry Art Glass Lidded Bonbonnière – Jaffe Rose Handmade – 25cm Tall
-
Bring a touch of Venetian-style glamour to your interior with this beautiful vintage Italian art glass bonbonnière, standing an impressive 25cm tall and approx. 10cm wide. Hand-blown and finished with decorative finesse, this striking lidded pedestal dish was made by Jaffe Rose, Italy – still retaining its original maker labels for authentic provenance.
-
Crafted in sumptuous deep cranberry ruby glass, the piece features a clear glass stem and foot, topped with a finial lid and surrounded by a dramatic hand-applied crimped glass ruffle edge. This technique, seen in Murano glassmaking traditions, requires the artisan to work molten glass and manually pinch or fold the rim – giving every piece its own character and charm.

Whether used as a candy jar, jewellery pot, trinket dish, or simply proudly displayed, this is a piece that catches the light and the eye. It sits beautifully on a dressing table, sideboard, drinks cabinet or mantle, adding rich colour and Italian craftsmanship to any room.

Why Collect This Piece?
Cranberry glass is traditionally coloured using traces of gold – prized for its richness and depth. Italian studios popularised the decorative use of crimped rims in the 20th century, giving their pieces a theatrical flourish.
This lovely example embodies those qualities — beautiful, skilled, and unapologetically glamorous.
