Vintage sculpture hand crafted in Murano, Italy in the 1970s. A sculptural handblown glass vase sculpted in the female form.

The piece features an elegant Tortoise Shell Speckled Glass pattern in sensual golden brown with flowing black and dark brown speckles that swirl fluidly across the curvaceous body. This refined palette highlights the sculptural form while showcasing the expressive glassmaking techniques and experimental spirit of Murano studios in the late 20th century.

Tall and substantial, this vase has a strong presence and weight, making it ideal for displaying tall floral arrangements. The opening measures approximately 2 inches across, adding functionality to its sculptural appeal. The outside measurement of the neck is approximately 2.5". The elongated silhouette, with its cinched waist and softly contoured shoulders, conveys a sense of movement and elegance, allowing the piece to function equally as a decorative object or a collectible work of glass art. Comparable torso-form marbled Murano vases from the same period are well documented; this example is unsigned, consistent with many studio productions of the era.

A striking statement piece well suited for mid-century modern, postmodern, and eclectic interiors. See less
