Centrepiece - Murano glass - Murano

We present a magnificent example of Murano glass art, captured in a striking zenithal photograph that enhances its geometry and the intricate surface craftsmanship. This vase stands out for its modern design and top-tier execution.
The body of the vase is blown in vibrant, deep cobalt blue glass, which serves as a perfect canvas for the overlay decoration. The outer surface is enriched by a dense, artistic shower of opaque white glass flakes, applied by spraying during the melting. This technique creates a tactile and visual texture unique, a chromatic contrast between the intense blue and the white particles that evokes a starry sky or a snowy landscape.
The shape of the vase is equally remarkable: it features a mouth with softly lobed edges, creating a wavy and elegant profile. From these lobes, the glass is molded into deep vertical ribs that radiate toward the base. Seen from above, as in this image, the vase reveals perfect symmetry, an abstract star formed by the play of light and shadow created by the folds of the glass and the random distribution of the white granules.
The base of the vase is solid and clean, with the bottom narrowing slightly for stability. At the center of the base, the classic ground pontil mark is visible, a sign of the piece’s craftsmanship.
