AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Work of Light and Glassmastery for Your Collection!
Add a piece of authentic Venetian craftsmanship history to your furnishings with this spectacular column vase in glass. Characterized by a slender, elegant form, the piece captivates with its extraordinary artisan workmanship: a dynamic vortex of white milk filaments that rise along the translucent body, culminating in a chromatically intense summit in cobalt blue/turquoise.
The workmanship recalls the prestigious traditional techniques of Filigree and Zanfirico, where glass canes are fused and hand blown by master glassmakers to create fluid, unique geometric motifs. The visual effect conveys great lightness and dynamism, ideal for enriching modern, minimalist interiors or for featuring in collections dedicated to Italian Glass Design.
To guarantee its authenticity, the vase retains at the base the famous branded label "Vetri Murano", a highly recognizable element for international collectors that attest to its direct origin from the historic Murano furnaces on the island. An unmissable chance to acquire a signed piece of rare elegance and increasing value on the collectibles market.
The label on the piece belongs to the collective brand established in 1977 by the most prestigious Murano furnaces (including Barovier & Toso, Venini, Salviati, Formia, Carlo Moretti and others) to protect, certify, and promote the authenticity of Murano blown glass against foreign imitations.
Behind this vase lies the centuries-old tradition of the Murano glassblowing masters. The filigree technique, perfected in Venice since the 16th century, requires extremely high technical skill during the blowing and hot shaping phase.
Murano art glass is recognized worldwide and is exhibited in the world’s leading decorative arts museums (such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Corning Museum of Glass in New York).
Dimensions: approximately 38 x 7.5 x 7.5 cm
Excellent cosmetic condition, shows small signs of use and age; please refer to the photo gallery
Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
