The fixture features a heavy, hand-blown Murano glass shade characterized by a textured, ice-like "pulegoso" finish in a vibrant amber-orange hue. This textured base is dramatically overlaid with thick, sculptural ribbons of deep cobalt blue glass, creating a high-contrast, flame-like visual effect that is synonymous with Nason’s avant-garde approach to lighting. The glass is securely mounted to a period-correct metal and wood backplate, housing a multi-bulb system that, when illuminated, radiates a warm, diffused glow while highlighting the intricate internal bubbles and swirls of the artisan glass. A magnificent example of Space Age Italian design, this ceiling light serves as both a functional luminary and a piece of bold, abstract ceiling art, making it an ideal focal point for an upscale vintage-inspired interior. it's in excellent vintage condition See less
