The vase is primarily a deep blue, adorned with intricate gold leaf patterns, a hallmark of classic Murano glass design. The gold fleck detailing is applied in a delicate, organic pattern that covers most of the surface, providing a lavish, elegant contrast against the blue glass. The vase has a tall, slightly rounded, and bulbous body that narrows at the top. It has a wavy, textured edge on both sides, with glass ridges running vertically, adding a three-dimensional, sculptural quality to the piece. These ridged handles are characteristic of mid-century Murano designs, adding to the fluidity and dynamic nature of the form. The glass itself has a semi-translucent quality, with a glossy surface that reflects light, emphasizing the luxurious gold accents. The overall style is modern, combining classical elegance with an avant-garde, almost organic form, typical of Murano glass vases from the period, especially those influenced by Barovier & Toso, one of Murano’s most prestigious glass-making families. This perfect condition vase is a stunning decorative piece, showcasing the impeccable craftsmanship and innovation of Murano glass artisans from the 1970s. See less
