About the Item

This iridescent Murano-style glass vase, made in Italy around the 1970s, exemplifies the artistry and technical finesse associated with Italian studio glass. Its distinctive freeform shape echoes a double truncated cone, rendered in thick, luminous glass. Inside, a striking matrix of bubbles—created through the Efeso bubble technique—interacts beautifully with the vase’s shimmering oil-slick iridescence, reminiscent of designs by Ercole Barovier. Small applied glass buttons punctuate either side of the vase, adding a sculptural element and tactile intrigue. The interplay of vivid color reflections and the dynamic bubble structure gives this piece a vivid presence under changing light. Standing 19 cm high with a diameter of 10 cm, it remains in very good vintage condition, bearing only minor superficial marks on its rough-polished base, consistent with age and use. While the maker is unknown, the quality suggests a skilled artisan steeped in the traditions of Murano glassmaking. A captivating piece for collectors of vintage art glass or those seeking a unique statement object, this vase offers a vibrant touch of mid-century Italian elegance.
