Description from the seller
A Murano art glass pharmacy vase "Scavo" – 1970s
Elegant pharmacy vase entirely handmade in Murano in the 1970s, characterized by the evocative excavation-effect workmanship, inspired by the look of ancient artifacts brought to light by time.
The glass, in delicate ivory and honey tones, is enhanced by refined hand-applied gold decorations that frame the central inscription and give the piece a refined, timeless appeal. The surface deliberately has a soft, slightly lived-in look, a distinctive feature of this particular decorative technique.
The lid, completed by an elegant handmade knob shaped like a fruit, recalls the Venetian apothecary vase tradition, transforming this object into a precious piece of furniture and a collectible.
Each piece is unique: slight variations in glass shades, in the distribution of the decorations, or in surface finishes are the result of artisanal work and represent the true value of a piece made entirely by hand.
A decorative piece of great charm, ideal for enriching both classic and contemporary environments with the understated elegance of vintage art glass.
Dimensions: approximately 39 x 16 cm
Era: 1970s
Material: Murano art glass
Finish: excavation effect with hand-applied gold decorations
Workmanship: entirely handmade by Murano master glassmakers
Use: decorative item and collectible.
Seller's Story
I was born and raised on the island of Murano, where glass is not simply a material, but a tradition that is lived every day. Since childhood I breathed in the warmth of the furnaces and watched the master glassmakers transform incandescent matter into shapes, colors and light.
C growing up in Murano means learning early to recognize the value of true artistic glass: weight, transparency, murrine, the small imperfections that make each piece unique. This knowledge, developed in a family and artisanal setting, today allows me to select only authentic works, handmade on the island according to traditional techniques.
Each creation I present – vases, sculptures, decorative objects and lamps – is born from entirely manual work, without industrial molds. Color, shape and texture variations are not defects, but the signature of the artisan who made each single piece.
All works come with a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing their origin and quality.
My objective is to offer not mere objects, but authentic fragments of Murano’s history, destined to endure over time and to bring into my clients’ homes the beauty and value of Venetian craftsmanship.
