AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and rare pair of postmodern Murano glass vases, designed and produced by Carlo Moretti between the late 1960s and the 1970s.
The vases are distinguished by the characteristic mushroom/cap shape, iconic of Space Age and Pop design of the era. The pair features two different and refined techniques of workmanship typical of the Moretti manufactory:
- Cyan Blue Vase: Made of laminated glass, characterized by an opaque milky white inner layer and a blue outer layer, with a fully acid-satin finish.
- Lime Green Vase: Made in monochrome translucent colored glass, also finished with acid to achieve a velvety and satin exterior and interior surface.
Exceptional collectible value: both vases retain their respective original paper authenticity labels. The green vase, in particular, bears under the base the rarest and oldest original round gold label "Carlo Moretti - Murano - Italy". Objects in excellent cosmetic condition, ideal for enhancing mid-century modern interiors.
