About the Item
This breathtaking ensemble of three hand-blown glass objects represents a pinnacle of Murano artistry from the latter part of the 20th century. Executed in a profoundly elegant palette of high-gloss black and vivacious red, this set is a testament to the enduring mastery of Venetian glassmakers and their capacity to adapt traditional techniques to a bold, Postmodern vision.
The Artistry of Form and Hue
Each piece in this collection is rendered with intentional precision, establishing a dynamic interplay between shape and color:
The Trumpet Vase : A soaring, slender silhouette, culminating in a delicately flared mouth. The stem is punctuated by a striking, solid ring of vibrant Rosso (red), anchoring the piece with an unexpected flourish and highlighting the contrasting color story.
The Grand Chalice : Possessing a noble, substantial form, this goblet-like vessel rests upon a sweeping, pedestal foot. Its generous bowl is perfectly proportioned, inviting use as an object of profound decorative distinction.
The Comport / Centerpiece : Designed as a dramatic focal point, this piece features a wide, gravity-defying lip that plunges elegantly into a central cavity. Its flared shape evokes a sense of fluid movement and architectural grace.
All three forms are unified by the luminous, obsidian Nero glass and meticulously detailed with a razor-thin band of Rosso tracing the rim of the mouth and the foot. This graphic application of color elevates the aesthetic from simple glassware to an exercise in visual tension and modernist chic.
Provenance and Period
Originating from the renowned workshops of Murano, Italy, during the 1990s, this set embodies the decade’s sophisticated return to strong geometry and high-drama coloration, recalling the spirit of Art Deco while remaining firmly rooted in contemporary design. It is a compelling acquisition for collectors seeking rare pieces that bridge Murano's rich legacy with the avant-garde spirit of the 20th century's close.
