This piece of high modernism, with its size (over 35 cm tall) and intricate execution, places it at the top of the glass collector's range.

Design and Technique: The work is distinguished by a dynamic, organic form of extraordinary elegance: from a solid base, the body opens upward in a spiral motion (Torchon), terminating in an irregular opening reminiscent of flower petals or a stylized flame. The technique used is hand-blown and hand-crafted "ribbed" glass: the deep ribs of the glass create exceptional plays of light, enhancing the transparency and brilliance of the material. The color is a magnificent Emerald Green/Lake Green, intense and deep, typical of the finest Seguso productions of that decade.

Provenance: Confirming the attribution, a vintage handwritten paper label bearing the code "350" and the wording "Seguso" is preserved on the bottom. This detail certifies its provenance and increases the object's historical value.
