AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and imposing vintage sculptural centerpiece, made in Murano between the 1950s and 1960s.
The piece is distinguished by a refined asymmetric organic form, shell-like (or petal-shaped) with undulating edges folded by hand, the utmost expression of the great Venetian craftsmanship tradition of the Mid-Century period.
The glass body, characterized by warm amber tones, is embellished inside by a rich and dense cascade submerged in 24kt gold leaf dust, which lends exceptional luminosity and shimmering golden reflections under every light source.
Details of authenticity and workmanship: Original mark: On the inner upper part there is the vintage adhesive seal (red and gold oval). Although partly worn by time and no longer fully legible in the mark, it constitutes an important historical testament to the piece’s Murano provenance and authenticity.
Pontil mark: Perfectly visible on the bottom of the base, an unmistakable scar of the artisanal workmanship and the manual separation from the blowpipe.
Important dimensions (Large format):
Maximum diameter: 35 cm
Height: 11.5 cm
Perfect vintage condition. The piece has no chips, runs, or restorations of any kind. The glass retains all of its original brilliance intact.
A piece with great visual impact, ready to enrich a collection of art glass or a prestigious-design interior.
Packaging: Double reinforced box with abundant bubble wrap and anti-shock material.
Courier: Tracked shipping via international express courier.
Security: Insurance coverage included for the full winning bid value.
