AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Refined and iconic Murano submerged-glass art vase for a single flower, designed by the celebrated glass master Alfredo Barbini during the 1960s.
This splendid piece stands out for its substantial circular block form in pure clear glass, skillfully shaped freehand.
The inner base contains an evocative artistic composition: a submerged abstract landscape made of dense emerald-green glass powder, enhanced with carefully controlled air-bubble inclusions, alongside asymmetrical fragments in vivid red and amber tones.
At the center, the characteristic vertical pour carves out the vase's core, creating the perfect spot for a single flower stem.
Signed on the side of the base.
Production label on both the front and the base.
A visually striking collector's piece, perfect for enhancing Mid-Century Modern interiors or displaying in a prestigious showcase of 20th-century art glass.
In excellent condition.
Minor signs of age and wear, clearly visible in the photos.
