Mid‑Century Modern Murano glass centerpiece by La Murrina, circa 1960–1970, with an amber core inside transparent crystal, weighing 1.2 kg, 26 cm wide, 30 cm deep and 7 cm high, made in Italy, in excellent condition with light signs of wear.
Description from the seller
Refined centerpiece (or large trinket dish) in precious Murano glass, produced by the historic furnace La Murrina in the 1970s. The piece stands out for an organic, fluid design that evokes the shapes of nature, with hand-shaped tips that confer a dynamism typical of Italian high-atelier modern design.
Technical Details and Craftsmanship:
The piece is made with the complex glass technique called "Sommerso": a central core of warm amber color is fused inside a thick swath of transparent crystal, creating a depth and luminous refraction effect that is unique. Elegant inclusions within the color are visible, enhancing its brilliance.
Conditions and Authenticity:
The object is in excellent condition, preserving the original glass luster without chips or restorations. Authenticity is guaranteed by the mark "La Murrina" impressed directly into the glass, a distinctive sign of the most prestigious era of the furnace’s production.
