Decorative hand-blown cobalt blue glass vase, likely Murano, with a heavy clear base, 25.5 cm high, 11 cm wide, 7 cm deep, weighing 1.2 kg, in good vintage condition with minor internal staining but no chips or cracks.
Description from the seller
Superb decorative vase in the shape of an elongated drop, hand-blown in deep, intense cobalt blue glass, with a massive transparent base and a subtle gradient effect towards the tapered top.
An organic and sculptural piece, typical of the Italian mid-century style (1950s-1970s), most likely produced on the island of Murano (Venice) by an artisan glassworks (possible attributions: Seguso, Flavio Poli-inspired, Fratelli Toso, or similar – similar forms commonly found in the submerged or blown art glass of the period).
Precise dimensions
Total height: 25.5 cm
Maximum width: 11 cm
Thickness/depth: 7 cm
Weight: 1,200 kg (thick, heavy, and of beautiful quality glass – premium feel in hand)
Vibrant cobalt blue captures the light in a spectacular manner, offering intense reflections and a strong graphic presence – ideal as a standalone sculpture on a shelf, console, coffee table, or within a contemporary/minimalist display case.
Good overall vintage condition.
A few minor internal stains (usage residues or dust accumulated inside, visible but normal for a piece not cleaned thoroughly – do not affect the exterior or the structure).
No shine, crack, chip, or break; shiny and smooth surface, without major scratches.
Unsigned (common for many Murano productions from this period, especially anonymous decorative models or small series).
Iconic Italian style of the Trente Glorieuses, highly appreciated by collectors of modern art glass and Scandinavian/Italian design.
Faithful and detailed photos (all angles, reflections, interior, weight) – sold as is, without aggressive cleaning or restoration.
Reinforced packaging and very secure shipping are mandatory (fragile and heavy item).
An intense blue statement piece, perfect for adding a sophisticated and organic touch to a modern interior!
