Carlo Moretti - Vase (2) - Glass

Set of two Murano artistic glass vases from the "Marmo / Wave" Series, designed and produced by the renowned Carlo Moretti glassworks in the first half of the 1970s.

They represent a splendid testimony of Italian Space Age design applied to Venetian glass art. Both pieces are crafted with the complex technique of opaline glass encased and marbled. Beginning from a milky white glass base, the master glassmaker hotly applied warm plum-colored purple hues, shaped and mouth-blown to achieve the characteristic marble veining or wavy effect, making each piece a unique and unrepeatable work of art. Both pieces come with their original factory labels, a fundamental detail for authentication and collectible value:
Vase 1 (Hourglass shape): 17 x 8 cm, featuring the iconic original red adhesive label "Carlo Moretti - Murano Italia" on the body of the vase.
Vase 2 (Teardrop/organic shape): 18 x 9 cm, retains the original black label applied to the bottom of the vase.
Condition: Red-labeled vase: excellent condition. The glass retains its original brilliance and shows no chips or restorations. Only very slight and physiological surface spots on the inner/outer bottom due to age and use are noted. Black-labeled vase: good overall condition. Structure is perfectly intact; no chips, only a small superficial scratch almost invisible to the naked eye, which does not in any way affect the aesthetic rendering or integrity of the piece.
