Hanging lamp - Glass - Murano Sun Hat

This stunning "Cappello" (Sun Hat) pendant is a masterclass in 1970s Italian glasswork. Hand-blown on the island of Murano, it features the iconic undulating "brim" that gives the piece a soft, organic movement. The shade is crafted using the sophisticated Mezza Filigrana technique—delicate white glass canes embedded within the clear glass to create a hypnotic, rhythmic spiral. The Details What truly sets this piece apart is the hand-sculpted amber glass ribbon tied into a bow around the crown. This sculptural accent provides a warm, sophisticated contrast to the cool white filigree. When illuminated, the lamp glows beautifully, diffusing light through the linear patterns and casting elegant, soft shadows across the room. Technical Specifications: Origin: Murano, Italy Period: 1970–1979 Style: Mid-Century Modern / Italian Design Technique: Hand-blown Mezza Filigrana glass Diameter: [50cm / 60cm] Hardware: Original vintage [brass/chrome] fitting. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips or cracks to the glass. Minor, age-appropriate patina on the metal hardware. Why it’s a great find: Whether placed above a dining table or as a central hallway feature, this lamp is a true conversation starter. Its large scale and rare amber ribbon detail make it a highly collectible piece of Venetian history. Platform-Specific Tips for Success: For Whoppah: Make sure to select "Excellent" for condition if there are no chips. They favor high-quality photography, so use a clean, neutral background. For Catawiki: You must mention the exact diameter. If it's 60cm, emphasize that it is a "Rare Large-Scale" example. Take a photo of the "pontil mark" (the rough spot at the very top under the metal cap) to prove it’s hand-blown. For Reliving: Use their "Vintage" and "Unique" tags. Mention that this is a sustainable way to own a high-design classic.
