We present an authentic icon of Venetian design from the 1970s. This extraordinary vase, hand-blown, is a masterpiece of form and technique. With an elegant, clean, elongated baluster shape, it stands out for the complexity of its decoration and the preciousness of its materials. An unmissable piece for any vintage Murano glass collector and a stylish addition to any home.
A true work of art, this piece testifies to the artisanal excellence of the prestigious Murano glassworks Cenedese.
The true protagonists of this vase are the precious details and technical virtuosity:
• Phoenician Decoration with Festoons: The body of the vase is decorated with the complex “Phoenician” technique, which creates elegant horizontal, elongated festoons, densely enriched by extensive inclusion of precious 24k pure gold leaf.
• Warm Side Applications (Handles): An extraordinary display of mastery is formed by the two decorative spiral handles, applied hot to the sides after the main blowing. These handles, in dark glass, are also embellished with gold leaf and edged with a pure gold 24k edge.
• Solid Circular Base: The vase rests on a solid circular base with a prominent edge in 24k pure gold leaf, also applied hot, which provides stability and additional richness to the piece.
• Chromatic Effect: Under natural light, the body shows a dark color of deep aubergine. However, under backlighting or with a special backlight (see image), the glass reveals a beautiful and unexpected ruby red/amber transparent hue
