Dating to the late 1950s or 1960s—the golden era of Cenedese design under artistic director Antonio da Ros—these elegant, sculptural pieces showcase masterful execution of the iconic sommerso (submerged) technique. Each candlestick features a slender, elongated clear crystal stem encasing a vibrant, suspended column of rich colored glass.

This curated collection offers a stunning visual rhythm when displayed together, featuring an assortment of graduating heights and a sophisticated mid-century color palette of jewel-tone emerald green, deep teal/aquamarine, and a delicate amethyst/pinkish-purple.

Each piece is authentic and features the highly desirable, hand-etched diamond-point cursive signature on the polished pontil base reading: "Gino Cenedese Murano". Full signatures are increasingly hard to find as a complete matching set.

Large 18 1/4" high x 4.75" diameter base
Medium 15 1/4" high x 4 1/4" diameter base
Small 13 3/4" high x 4" diameter base
