AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A refined glass vase, featuring an elegant handcrafted vertical canne work in opaque milk glass, a style that recalls the great traditional craftsmanship of the Murano glass masters. The semi-transparent vertical striations create a suggestive play of light and shadow against the background.
The vase is unsigned; very probably there was a label that over time has been removed, yet it is consistent with the signatures of Murano glass masters, historically known as “a canne” work or a simplified variant of “mezza filigrana.” The vertical canne technique is obtained by alternating vertical bands of opaque white glass (historically called lattimo) with translucent or transparent crystal stripes. This effect is achieved by placing side by side and fusing together hot glass canes before blowing the object.
It strongly recalls the avant-garde production of the historic Venetian artistic glassworks (such as Venini, Barovier & Toso or Archimede Seguso) from the 1950s and 1960s, a period in which minimalist vertical striped design enjoyed enormous international success.
The base shows a slight irregularity (the detached pontil mark), typical of mouth-blown glass and not machine-pressed.
Dimensions: diameter 20 cm x height 39 cm; weight 3.5 kg.
