This impressive vase captivates with its rare size of 30 cm and the masterful application of the Bullicante technique—a complex process in which precise, controlled air bubbles are incorporated into the glass.

Due to its specific shape, the brilliance of the glass, and the perfect execution of the air bubbles, the vase is attributed to the renowned Archimede Seguso workshop (the "A Bolle" series).

Design & Aesthetics:
The deep, elegant emerald green interior is enhanced by the Sommerso technique (overlaying with clear glass). The heavy glass (Vetro Pesante) creates an extraordinary refraction of light, which makes the green color glow especially under indirect light.

Quality Features:
• Handcrafted: Authentic Murano glass from the 1950–1955 era.
• Base finish: The base features a high-gloss polished pontil finish—a clear sign of a high-quality collector’s item (not mass-produced).
• Size: At 30 cm tall, this is a rare luxury edition (statement piece).
Details:
• Dimensions: Height approx. 30 cm.
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or cloudiness. Minimal, age-appropriate wear marks on the base.
• Origin: Murano, Italy.

Note: Since the original paper labels have often been lost over the decades, identification is based on technique, form, and base characteristics, which correspond exactly to Seguso’s documented designs from this era. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
