AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful vintage Murano scavo vase – pale yellow with black handles – H 30 cm
Short description:
Discover this enchanting vintage Murano scavo vase from Italy! With the unique scavo technique, the glass gains an ancient, dug-up appearance – as if it has just emerged from a Roman ruin. The soft, light yellow (amber-like) body has a matte, granular texture that captures light beautifully, paired with sturdy black handles for a striking contrast.
The classic amphora shape with broad shoulders and a narrow neck makes it ideal as an eyecatcher on a mantelpiece, table, or display cabinet. Perfect for fans of Mid-Century design and authentic Venetian glass.
Measurements:
• Height: 30 cm
• Widest point (middle): 17 cm
• Rim: 11 cm
• Base: 9.5 cm
Hand-blown with a visible pontil mark on the bottom – truly vintage Murano (likely years 1960s-1980s). In excellent condition: no chips, cracks or restorations, only normal light signs of use appropriate to the age.
