Murano Marbled Glass Vase
Italy, c. 1970s
About This Piece
A sculptural marbled glass vase defined by its fluid, organic form and expressive internal movement.
Hand-blown, the piece carries a soft, milky body that diffuses light, contrasted by a sweeping dark inclusion and warm amber tones flowing through the form. Subtle cellular patterning emerges within the glass, creating depth and variation that shifts depending on the light.
The rim is gently irregular, emphasising the hand-formed nature of the piece, while a deep blue base provides a quiet visual anchor. Both balanced and expressive, the vase works as a standalone object or with minimal stems.
Attributed to Murano production, the piece reflects a more expressive period of mid to late 20th century glassmaking, where traditional techniques were used with greater freedom of composition.
In good vintage condition overall. Light surface wear consistent with age, including minor scratches and a with slight mineralisation on the neck authentic attribute to pieces of this age. This remains subtle and does not detract from the overall presence of the piece.
