Verre de Murano à filigrane (latticino) - Vase (2) - Glass

Pair of Murano glass filigree (latticino) vases, pink and white / white and gold

A lovely duo of hand-blown Murano glass vases, made using the traditional Venetian filigree (latticino) technique. Fine threads of opaque, colored glass are incorporated into the clear glass, then twisted during blowing to create delicate, regular spirals.

The large vase has an elegant baluster shape, with an ovoid body that tapers toward a flared neck. It is decorated with fine white and candy-pink threads that spiral around the glass. The underside is particularly striking: the threads converge in a perfect swirl around the visible pontil mark. The result is exceptionally delicate, with a luminous pinkish transparency.

The small vase has a flattened, bulbous shape and is topped with a short, flared, corolla-shaped neck. It is made with a dense interlacing of white threads, enhanced by gold bands that give it a warm, silky, almost pearlescent appearance.

The two pieces complement each other through their shared technique and contrasting shapes and colors.

Small vase: 7.5 cm high
Large vase: 14 cm high
