Two vintage Venini smoked glass obelisks, the taller having a square base and the shorter having an octagonal base. The taller is marked with a "Venini Murano Italia" acid stamp to the underside (a mark used from 1946-1966), the shorter is diamond-point engraved "Venini Italia" (post-1966).
The square obelisk measures 10" x 1 1/2" and theoctagonal obelisk measures 8" x 2".
The square obelisk is chipped near the top and has one ding in the side. The octagonal obelisk is nearly perfect but for a single fleabite at the base.
