This highly important showcase piece was personally curated, vetted, and diamond-point engraved by Andrea Donà on the base: "Andrea Donà Murano 2001".

Dating to 2001—the landmark year the studio achieved international acclaim during their definitive solo exhibition at the Vassel Art Gallery in London—this vase was specifically selected to showcase the furnace's apex technical capabilities to global collectors. Unlike standard single-color production pieces, this masterwork features a highly complex, dual-color fusion approach. The master artisan seamlessly bonded an intricate, deep amethyst glass frame to the scalloped, bi-lobed "pinzato" rim while molten. Executing this multi-toned crossover without inducing thermal shock or structural fracturing requires immense master-level precision, making dual-color works of this scale exceptionally rare and highly sought after by serious glass collectors.

The architectural, fluted tulip form is structured around heavy vertical ribbons (A Canne) heavily saturated with genuine 24-karat gold leaf inclusions (polvere d'oro). When illuminated, the gold captures ambient light from within, radiating outward across the clear cristallo body.

A verified, signature-certified gallery piece that represents a pinnacle achievement in contemporary Venetian modernism. A true investment-grade masterwork for the discerning collector. See less
