Tiffany & Co. - Elsa Peretti - Vase - Murano glass - Teardrop - Archimede Seguso Murano

A fluid drop of light captured in clear, mouth-blown glass, this iconic "Teardrop" carafe embodies the absolute purity of form born from Elsa Peretti's historic design for Tiffany & Co., masterfully brought to life by Archimede Seguso. The organic silhouette flows down into a smooth, hollow oval recess, a legendary solution that serves as an ergonomic grip while creating a suspended lens of light.

Hand-engraved "Archimede Seguso Murano" on the base, this piece is the tangible document of the legendary Venetian furnace chosen to manufacture Peretti's design for Tiffany & Co., an iconic collaboration later celebrated in the permanent collection of the British Museum. This specific piece is offered in its honest, untouched vintage condition, preserving its historic heritage and structural integrity without cosmetic alterations.
