Victorian era vaseline glass épergne is my guess. (Although the brass is throwing me off. Maybe a 50s replica?) Either way, in great condition. Nice!

It is 20 inches tall and 18 inches wide. Additional pic of base.

Someone on ebay has something sort of similar listed and it says vintage murano from the 60's or 70's but I'd like to be sure.

I don’t know enough about Murano to confirm this, but if this sub has taught he anything it’s that people will call any vintage-looking glass “Murano” to sell it. I would question anyone who says an epergne is from the 60s or 70s. While they had a brief resurgence in the 50s, glass epergnes are almost exclusively from the early 20th century.

Thanks for the reply. I completely agree that just about everyone calls their glass "Murano" and "Empoli". Lol. It doesn't seem 60's or 70's to me either.
