The set showcases a mesmerizing swirl pattern of bright yellow and deep brown, a signature style often associated with Moretti's work during this period, sometimes produced in collaboration with Opaline Florence. Both the cylindrical vase and the companion ashtray/catch-all bowl are hand-blown, demonstrating the exceptional craftsmanship for which Murano is famous. The vibrant, contrasting colors and the bold, flowing lines create a dynamic and psychedelic effect that is both eye-catching and representative of the era's futuristic and pop art influences. The pieces are in excellent vintage condition and retain their original labels, "carlo moretti murano italia," affirming their authenticity. This rare and complete set is perfect for collectors of mid-century modern and Italian art glass, adding a bold and vibrant statement to any home or office.
