Opaline glass lamp from Murano, late 1960s. The design features a characteristic ‘bubble’ or ‘cage’ effect, where a blown white opaline glass diffuser is enclosed in a black metal geometric frame with circular motifs. This particular craftsmanship creates a material and visual contrast typical of Mid-Century Modern aesthetics. Made between 1960 and 1970.
