Glass vase with a crackle finish, a pale blush-pink pearly sheen and a bulbous body with a flared neck, dating from 1950–1960 and measuring 34 cm high.
Description from the seller
It is a glass vase with craquelé workmanship (also called “ice glass” or crackle glass).
Here are the main characteristics of the piece:
Technique: Craquelé glass is obtained by briefly dipping the piece, while still hot, into cold water during blowing; the thermal shock creates a tight network of surface cracks without breaking the internal structure of the object.
Color and Style: It features a delicate, subtle shade tending toward pink/pearl with pearly or satin reflections. The flared shape at the neck and the rounded body is typical of decorative production of the 20th century.
Origin and Period: Objects with this design and technique were mainly produced between the 1950s and 1970s, very common in Italian craftsmanship (including Murano artistic glassworks or those in the Emilia/Tuscany area) and in Northern Europe.
