Hand-blown on the famous island of Murano, the piece features a luminous opaque white body accented by striking tiger-striped ribbons of vibrant orange, amber, and deep cocoa brown. The elegant spiral form culminates in a beautifully swirled clear and dark amber "eye," showcasing the technical mastery and fluid aesthetic for which Venetian glassmakers are world-renowned. Its high-gloss finish and sculptural curves catch and refract light beautifully, creating a dynamic focal point that perfectly embodies the "Coastal Chic" aesthetic of the late 20th century.
