About the Item

This ethereal Murano glass vase, masterfully realized by the celebrated artisan Giovanni Dalla Fina in the 1980s, is a testament to the enduring allure of Venetian glassmaking. The piece is defined by its masterful use of the Pulegoso technique, characterized by a deliberate infusion of myriad microscopic bubbles that grant the glass a dense, sponge-like texture and a soft, luminous opacity. Design Narrative The vessel’s silhouette is a study in graceful proportions, featuring a slender, tapering neck that descends into a swelling, bulbous body. The snowy, froth-like surface is dramatically punctuated by vibrant ruby-red accents. A fine ribbon of crimson glass encircles the flared rim and the pedestal base, providing a sharp, rhythmic contrast to the ethereal white core. Most striking are the twin applied glass ornaments flanking the waist. These hand-sculpted flourishes—resembling delicate amber-hued cornucopias—culminate in blossoming red florets. These intricate attachments offer a tactile, three-dimensional complexity that elevates the vase from a functional object to a work of sculptural art. Artistic Significance Dalla Fina’s work during this period successfully bridges the gap between historical Italian classicism and the bold, playful geometry of late 20th-century design. This vase is an exceptional acquisition for the discerning collector, offering a sophisticated interplay of texture, transparency, and vivid color.
