About the Item

A sophisticated and striking piece of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative art, this hand-blown Murano glass vase embodies the refined craftsmanship and innovative techniques of the renowned Venetian glass masters. This elegant vase features a classic amphora-like silhouette with a flared rim and a solid, rounded base. Its stunning aesthetic is achieved through a dramatic two-tone composition: Upper Section (Shoulder and Neck): Features a lustrous, rich gold leaf inclusion, creating a radiant, shimmering surface that catches the light beautifully. The short, trumpet-shaped neck is a warm, textured amber or russet brown, leading to a gracefully flared mouth finished in a deep, highly polished, translucent amber-brown. A subtle, applied glass ring encircles the base of the neck, adding a final detail of craftsmanship. Lower Section (Body): The main body of the vase is a deep, near-black or very dark blue ground, liberally dusted with a fine white and light-blue granular effect (likely achieved with pulver or pulegoso techniques). This speckling creates a captivating 'night sky' or cosmic texture, providing a powerful contrast to the smooth, brilliant gold above. Base: The thick, solid foot complements the neck with a dark, textured russet and brown tone, anchoring the piece with stability and completing the cohesive color palette. Style Origin: This piece is characteristic of Murano production from the 1980s, reflecting a blend of traditional techniques with a more contemporary, dramatic color application. Its bold, graphic division of color and texture makes it a powerful decorative statement, perfect for a modern or eclectic interior setting. A magnificent example of Murano glass artistry, this vase is a perfect acquisition for the discerning collector or a luxurious addition to any sophisticated interior design project.
