Its unique form, superb craftsmanship, and rich color composition make it a striking collector’s item and decorative piece.

The slender, sculptural silhouette is crafted from thick, multi-layered glass. Dynamic bands of intense cobalt, golden yellow, and amber orange are embedded in a transparent glass mass, creating the depth and light effects characteristic of Murano glass.

Standing 34 cm tall, the vase has a striking, almost architectural presence. It looks stunning both as a standalone glass sculpture and as an element of an exclusive interior design in Mid-Century Modern, modernist, eclectic, or contemporary styles.

The form, color scheme, and technique are closely linked to the tradition of Italian Murano art glass from the second half of the 20th century.
