Striking Murano art-glass vase, featuring an exceptionally dense, all-over field of multicolored “pebble” millefiori / murrine fragments suspended within a smoky blue-grey clear glass matrix. The body is hand-blown into a rounded, slightly ovoid form with a gently constricted neck and a flared, softly undulating rim, showcasing the fluid movement of the hot-worked glass.
From every angle the surface reads like a mosaic of luminous color—reds, yellows, greens, blues and whites—creating a deep, jewel-like optical effect typical of high-level Murano craftsmanship. A powerful sculptural piece, equally suited as a standalone object or as a vase.
All-over “pebble” millefiori coverage
Unlike standard millefiori with repeating rosettes, this work uses irregular, densely packed, multicolored fragments fused throughout the glass wall—an approach strongly associated with a small number of Murano masters and workshops active in the early 20th century.
Depth of embedding (not surface-applied)
The colored elements appear integrated within the glass mass, producing strong internal depth and optical layering—indicative of advanced furnace work rather than later decorative surface application.
Form and finishing consistent with early Murano art glass
The softly flared rim and hand-worked silhouette, together with the overall character of the glass and palette, align with pre-midcentury Murano production rather than post-1960 studio or tourist output.
