Late-1960s Murano opal glass lamp. The design is characterized by a distinctive 'bubbles' or 'cage' effect, where a blown white opal glass diffuser is enclosed in a geometric black metal frame with circular motifs. This particular processing creates a tactile and visual contrast typical of Mid-Century Modern aesthetics. Produced between 1960 and 1970.
