Sculptural Italian Handblown Glass Vase, 1970s

Offered by: MA+39

Description
This sculptural handblown glass vase from Italy, dating to the 1970s, exemplifies the organic artistry of Murano craftsmanship. Its fluid, asymmetrical form flows with natural movement, as if captured mid-motion, creating a dynamic presence whether displayed alone or filled with flowers. The swirling interior contours catch the light beautifully, adding depth and shadow that shift with the viewer’s perspective. Thick, clear glass gives the vase both weight and transparency, balancing elegance with substance. The irregular rim and undulating walls highlight the hand-formed nature of the piece, making each angle unique. Perfect as a centerpiece or decorative accent, it embodies mid-century Italian design’s fascination with form, light, and expressive materiality.
