These exquisite uplight lamps showcase the elegance and craftsmanship synonymous with Murano glass and the innovative design of the mid-century modern period.

Each lamp features a sculptural tulip-like sculptural glass forms enclosed within a tinted green hurricane vase style enclosure, with the smoked glass softly diffusing light to create a warm and inviting ambiance. The hand-blown technique infuses the glass with subtle variations, giving the lamps a distinct artisanal feel and bringing depth and texture to their sleek modernist silhouette. Each glass element is contained within upward and downward facing glass basins, containing the upward facing shades, hugged in the center with brass fittings that dilineate the upper and lower sections of the lamps.

Designed by the renowned Cenedese studio, these lamps epitomize 1970s Italian modern design: bold in form, yet delicate in execution. Perfectly proportioned, they serve as functional light sources while doubling as sculptural accent pieces that mesh seamlessly with mid-century modern, contemporary, or eclectic interiors.

In Excellent Vintage Condition, this collectible pair is both rare and versatile, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of Murano glass artistry and Italian modernist design. Newly rewired to American standards, these lamps accommodate one candelabra base bulb each, achieving up to 60 watts of light.
