This sophisticated piece features a striking and vibrant amethyst purple color with a rich radial gradation that intensifies toward the center due to the thickness of the glass. The exterior surface showcases a masterfully executed hot-hammered finish, creating highly reflective geometric plays of light, contrasting with the smooth, polished interior. The piece is permanently signed on the bottom with the official acid-etched signature "Vetrerie Manin Murano," ensuring its prestigious artistic provenance. Dating back to the era of high-end Venetian design by master glassmaker Renzo Stellon (famous for his collaborations with Salviati), this centerpiece blends sophisticated form with the finest traditional craftsmanship of the furnace. Its imposing 37 cm diameter makes it a powerful sculptural element in its own right, ideal for high-end interior design projects in the Midcentury Modern and contemporary styles.
