About the Item
A bold and sculptural example of mid-century Italian glass, this Murano vase dates to the 1960s and is executed in the swung glass technique, characterized by its elongated, upward-reaching form and subtle spiral movement. The silhouette is fluid yet controlled, emphasizing verticality and tension—qualities that lend the piece a distinctly architectural presence.
The vase is blown in red and amber sommerso, with richly layered color encased within clear crystal. This traditional Murano technique, widely employed during the mid-century period, creates a striking sense of depth and optical complexity as light passes through the glass. The result is both sculptural and atmospheric, emphasizing volume, transparency, and chromatic contrast.
Unsigned, the vase was produced for the American export market and shows strong aesthetic alignment with the work of Galliano Ferro, whose designs from this period often feature similar proportions, color palettes, and clarity of line. The base is finely ground and polished, consistent with high-quality Murano production of the era.
