"Sasso con spirale", designed by the celebrated artist Antonio Da Ros for the renowned furnace Cenedese circa 1959.
This sophisticated piece perfectly captures the essence of late 1950s Venetian glass art. It seamlessly blends the iconic, minimalist "Sasso" (pebble) form favored by Da Ros with a playful, dynamic twisted opaque white glass cane (spirale) suspended inside the heavy, flawless clear glass body.
This specific vase was acquired directly from the historic Cenedese estate, ensuring its flawless provenance. The Momento series represents a pinnacle of subello and heavy sommerso techniques from the era. Finding an example that incorporates this intricate spiral element is incredibly uncommon, making it a stellar addition for serious collectors of 20th-century Murano art glass.
