AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
– Large carafe/decanter in artistic Murano glass with a sculpted cobalt blue stopper – 1980s
Description
Elegant and refined carafe/decanter in artistic Murano glass, produced in the 1960s.
The piece stands out for its essential, timeless design, featuring a slender body in perfectly transparent optical glass, enriched by a substantial solid bottom that provides stability, build quality, and a pleasant sense of solidity.
A element of utmost value is the magnificent original stopper, made in artistic glass with a refined sculpture in intense cobalt blue, hand-shaped with fluid and elegant forms that represent one of the most distinctive elements of Murano design from the period.
For stylistic and qualitative characteristics, the piece is attributed to Seguso Vetri d’Arte. The attribution is based on the high quality of workmanship, the use of notably thick optical glass, the finely finished solid bottom, and, above all, the characteristic cobalt blue glass sculpted stopper, an element that echoes the aesthetic language developed by the historic Murano glassworks in the 1960s.
Even in the absence of a visible signature, the overall stylistic characteristics, proportions, and excellent execution quality make a Seguso Vetri d’Arte attribution plausible, one of the most prestigious historic Murano furnaces.
The piece represents a perfect balance between functionality and sculpture, making it ideal both as an elegant decanter and as an important decorative element for contemporary interiors and Italian studio glass collections.
