Nine inches of hand-blown glass — a deep blue ruffled rim flowering from a bulbous vase body down to a twisted clear foot, the kind of piece that stops people mid-conversation.
Condition: Excellent — sand inclusions and air bubbles in the foot are intentional decorative elements, not damage; no chips or cracks. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
The foot carries visible sand inclusions and air bubbles, both characteristic of Murano glasswork where deliberate inclusions are part of the craft. This piece came from the estate of a documented Murano collector, though no label was present when we acquired it — the ruffled edge, twisted foot, and bulbous form are all consistent with Venetian technique of the 1960s and '70s. One available.
A stunning piece for an art glass collector, a design-forward shelf, a mantel, or anywhere you want something that earns a second look every time.
Sand and controlled air-bubble inclusions have long been used by Murano glassmakers as a deliberate decorative device rather than a flaw — a technique that plays with light and texture in ways smooth, clear glass cannot, and one of many small signatures that separate genuine Venetian glasswork from later mass-produced imitations.
