Description from the seller

Mila Schön for ArteVetro Murano - Rare Vase in Blown Murano Glass with Submerged Bubbles - Limited Edition 151/300 - 1980s

Magnificent and imposing vase in Murano glass, born from the exceptional collaboration between the iconic Italian fashion house Mila Schön and the renowned glassworks ArteVetro Murano. This superb work of art represents a perfect union between geometric purity and the elegance of Milanese haute couture and the centuries-old artisanal craftsmanship of Murano glass masters. The object is part of a highly sought-after limited series of only 300 pieces worldwide; this specific piece is number 151, which gives it considerable collectible value.
Artistic Features and Craftsmanship
The body of the vase, hand-blown, is characterized by a complex and fascinating treatment of "submerged bubbles" (known in Murano tradition as bullicante or pulegoso effect). Thousands of micro-air bubbles have been skilfully trapped inside the dense dark glass mass, creating a three-dimensional texture and a play of light refractions that gives the work incredible depth, resembling a starry sky. The design's rigidity is defined by the mouth and the massive base of the vase, made with hot applications in vibrant and luminous cobalt blue glass, creating a visually striking color contrast.
Signature and Authenticity:
The base of the vase is perfectly ground. On the bottom is clearly visible the prestigious cold-incised signature with diamond-tipped tool: "mila schön [with logo] - BY ARTE VETRO MURANO - exemplar n. 151 / 300" This inscription guarantees absolute authenticity and traceability of the limited edition. (see last photo)
Specifications and Dimensions:
• Height: 34 cm
• Maximum diameter: 15 cm
• Base diameter: 12.5 cm
• Mouth diameter: 11 cm
• Weight: 3.5 kg (a substantial weight that testifies to the notable quality and thickness of the glass mass).

Conditions:
The artwork presents in perfect conservation conditions, as if just emerged from the furnace. It has no chipping, cracks, scratches, or wear marks. An unmissable opportunity for 20th-century designer glass collectors and lovers of great Italian design.
Packaging and Shipping:
The item will be packed with the utmost care and professionalism to guarantee its complete integrity during transport. Shipping will be via international express courier, with tracking code and fast delivery.
