Hand-blown in opaline glass, the body of the vase features a soft, milky blue hue that beautifully contrasts with its transparent cobalt blue foot. Reminiscent of Murano-style Italian glass, this elegant piece showcases the refined artistry that made Marinha Grande the heart of Portugal’s glass production industry.

The vase remains in original vintage condition, free from chips or cracks. A small production flaw on the base—a testament to its hand-crafted origin—adds unique character and authenticity.

Marinha Grande, often referred to as the “cradle of Portuguese glassmaking,” has been renowned since the 18th century for its fine art glass. Fusing traditional techniques with bold, modernist design in the 1960s, Marinha Grande artisans produced collectible pieces that rivaled the best in Europe.

Whether displayed as a statement piece or added to a collection of mid-century European glass, this vintage Marinha Grande vase is both decorative and historically significant. A rare find for lovers of Portuguese art glass and retro design.
