This is an exceptional, investment-grade piece of mid-century Italian design: a monumental Murano art glass vase attributed to the legendary artist and technical director Giulio Radi for AVEM (Arte Vetraria Muranese). Circa 1950–1955.This heavy-walled masterpiece showcases a brilliant execution of Radi’s celebrated "Reazioni Policrome" (Polychrome Reactions) and "Balloton" technical series. It features a dense, opalescent white internal lining blown into a diamond-grid pattern, expertly encased beneath a thick, swirling outer layer of deep cobalt blue mesh.True to the master-level bullicante technique, a single, perfectly controlled tiny air bubble is trapped precisely at the center of every diamond intersection, creating a breathtaking optical depth under direct lighting.
