About the Item

A sculptural handblown glass vase in the form of a female torso, crafted in Murano, Italy, circa 1980s. The piece features a bold tiger-stripe design in rich amber and black, swirling dramatically across the curvaceous body. This striking combination of figurative form and optical striping captures the artistry and playful experimentation of Murano studios in the late 20th century. Tall and substantial, this vase has a strong presence and weight, making it ideal for displaying tall floral arrangements. The opening measures 2.25 inches across, adding functionality to its sculptural appeal. The elongated silhouette with its cinched waist and flowing shoulders gives the vase a sense of elegance and movement, making it both decorative and collectible. Comparable torso-form “tiger stripe” Murano vases from the same period are well-documented, though this example is unsigned, consistent with many studio productions of the era. Excellent vintage condition, with no chips or cracks. Please note the apple shown in the photo is for scale. A perfect statement piece for mid-century modern, postmodern, and eclectic interiors. Be sure to check our other listings for more Murano and unique glass pieces. As with all our pieces, this vase will be carefully packed and shipped within 24–48 hours.
