Murano - Alfredo Barbini - Vase - Scavo - Murano glass

Exquisite and monumental art glass vase designed by the legendary Murano master Alfredo Barbini (1912–2007).

This impressive piece features a sophisticated layered color palette of turquoise and deep oceanic blue, highlighted by striking metallic silver/gold foil bands that wrap organically around the body. The exterior is finished with the renowned "Scavo" technique, developed by Barbini to emulate the oxidized, textured surface of ancient Roman glass unearthed from archeological sites.

Standing at 34 cm tall, this is a substantial and rare "monumental" size for Barbini’s textured series, making it a true centerpiece for any high-end mid-century modern or contemporary interior.
