Description from the seller

Magnificent Vaso Anfora Cenedese – Phoenician Decoro with 24k Gold Leaf Inclusions and Hot-Apply – Murano, 1970s

We Present an authentic icon of Venetian design from the 1970s. This extraordinary vase, entirely hand-blown, is a masterpiece of form and technique. With an elegant, slender amphora silhouette, it stands out for the complexity of the decoration and the preciousness of the materials used. A piece of great distinction, ideal for collectors of vintage Murano glass and for those who desire a striking interior object.

Made by the prestigious Cenedese Glassworks of Murano, the piece testifies to the craftsmanship of the furnace and the mastery of techniques typical of the period. An work of great elegance and character, able to enrich any environment with its changing light and the preciousness of gold.

Technical merits and details
The true protagonists are the virtuosity of the work:
• Phoenician decoration with festoons: the body is adorned with the complex “Phoenician” technique, which creates elegant elongated horizontal festoons, densely enriched by an extensive inclusion of precious 24k gold leaf.
• Hot-applied side handles (ears): two decorative spiral handles, applied hot after the main blowing. Made in dark glass, they are embellished with gold leaf and outlined with a border in yellow gold leaf.
• Circular base: solid circular base with a border in 24k yellow gold leaf, also applied hot, which provides stability and additional preciousness.
• Color effect and backlight: under natural light the vase presents a dark body of deep aubergine (almost black at low intensity). When backlit or with rear illumination it reveals a surprising and luminous ruby/red amber transparency, highlighting the quality of the glass and the gold inclusions.
