Alfredo Barbini - Vase - Murano glass

This splendid vase is an authentic work by Alfredo Barbini, one of Murano's most renowned glass masters.

Made in the 1970s, this piece is a classic example of solid glass technique, characterized by a substantial thickness that creates fascinating play of light and reflections. The slender form and slightly undulating walls are distinctive traits of Barbini's minimalist and sculptural design from that period.
Signs of opacity inside the vase (probably attributable to calcium carbonate).
