AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pharmacy vase "Scavo" in artistic Murano glass – 1970s

Extraordinary pharmacy vase handmade in Murano in the seventies, an authentic expression of Venetian artisanal excellence. Characterized by the captivating excavated finish, this precious object rekindles the charm of ancient artifacts unearthed by time, conferring on the surface a patina rich in history and suggestion.

The entire vase is clad in 24-karat gold leaf, applied manually according to traditional techniques that give depth, luminosity and a timeless elegance. The ornamental decorations and inscriptions, finely worked, further embellish the piece, transforming it into an authentic work of art and furnishing.

The lid, completed by a refined decorative knob, enhances the classic silhouette of the pharmacy vase, making it ideal both as a collectible item and as a prestige furnishing accessory.

Every detail tells the mastery of the Murano glassmakers: light irregularities, small variations in the distribution of the gold leaf or in the surface finishes should not be seen as defects, but as a testament to hands-on craftsmanship and the uniqueness of each specimen.

An important and sought-after piece, capable of enriching both classic and contemporary environments with its unmistakable decorative character.

Dimensions: approximately 42 × 18 cm
Epoch: 1970s
Material: Murano artistic glass
Finish: excavated effect with full 24 kt gold leaf coating
Craftsmanship: entirely handmade by Murano master glassmakers

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.
