The vase is formed using the cased glass technique, combining a milky white interior layer with a translucent blush pink exterior, resulting in soft tonal gradation across the surface typical of Murano optic glass. The form is an urn-shaped pedestal vase, with a rounded body rising from a circular foot and tapering to a narrow neck. The Murano optic swirl pattern wraps continuously around the vase, creating movement and depth, while the delicately scalloped rim introduces a subtle decorative edge characteristic of mid-century Italian glass vase design. Colour transitions from pale pink to peach tones, with increased saturation at the neck and base where the glass thickens. This interplay of blush pink and peach-toned glass enhances the sculptural quality of the piece and reflects the characteristic approach of 1970s Murano glass production. Condition is very good for age and use, with minor wear and one small firing flaw visible on the exterior. Height: 30 cm (11.81 in) Diameter: 18 cm (7.09 in) See less
