Nason & Cie, produced in the 1980s, is a refined example of late 20th-century Venetian glassmaking with subtle postmodern influence. Executed using the traditional sommerso technique, the vase features a deep cobalt blue inner core encased within a layer of smoked grey glass, all overlaid with clear crystal. The resulting stratification creates notable optical depth and tonal complexity, characteristic of high-quality Murano production. The form is compact yet expressive, with a rounded, weighted base that rises into a gently twisting body and finishes in an asymmetric, fishtail-shaped mouth. This fluid, sculptural silhouette enhances the play of light through the layered glass and gives the piece a strong decorative presence, whether displayed as a standalone object or used as a small floral vessel. The vase retains its original V. Nason & Cie, Murano, Italy label. It is offered in very good vintage condition, showing only minimal wear consistent with age and careful handling. An elegant and collectible example of 1980s Italian art glass, well suited to interiors featuring Murano glass, postmodern decorative arts, or curated modern design collections.
