A set of bottle-shaped vases in hand-blown Murano crystal from Italy, in Art Nouveau style, dating to 1960–1970, with cobalt blue and pink‑violet spiral decorations, measuring 16 cm wide, 26 cm high and 6 cm deep, in good used condition with minor signs of aging.
Description from the seller
This refined set of bottle-shaped vases, crafted in authentic Murano crystal blown by hand, represents a magnificent example of Venetian glassmaking tradition and the famous zanfirico technique. The pieces stand out for their elegant globular body silhouette and stylized neck, crowned by spherical stoppers perfectly integrated into the design. The decoration is characterized by a dynamic, spiraling lattice of cobalt blue bands and pink-violet hues that run across the entire surface, creating a captivating optical effect of movement and depth.
The transparency and luminosity of the crystal allow the complexity of the handmade work to be appreciated, where every twist and every line evidences the skill of the master glassmaker. The zanfirico technique, recognizable by its delicate spirals and twisted filigree incorporated into the glass mass, lends the composition an attractive sculptural character that transforms each piece into a true decorative work of art. The chromatic nuances change according to the incidence of light, offering vibrant reflections and an extraordinary visual richness.
With a distinctly Venetian character and an elegant sculptural presence, this set is ideal both as a collectible decorative element and to enrich sophisticated interiors, where Italian artisanal craftsmanship and the artistic design of crystal find an expression of singular beauty and refinement.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
