Standing at an impressive 12 inches tall with a dramatic 13-inch spread, this large-scale statement piece beautifully captures the illusion of fluid, draped fabric frozen in glass.
The vessel features a heavy, thick-walled translucent emerald green glass body densely infused with a vibrant polychrome spatter (confetti) pattern. Bold dabs of vivid orange, canary yellow, and cerulean blue are suspended within the green matrix, creating a dynamic sense of movement. The striking, colorful exterior is masterfully balanced by a clean, opaque white cased-glass interior, which makes the colors pop dramatically under direct lighting.
The vase terminates in a stable, thick, 7-inch triangular base with a smooth, fire-polished concave underside, indicative of high-quality mid-to-late 20th-century art glass craftsmanship. Unsigned and free of maker marks, this piece is heavily styled after the iconic mid-century designs of Murano masters like Venini and Fulvio Bianconi, as well as renowned Bohemian workshops. With its impressive scale and radiant palette, it serves as a spectacular standalone centerpiece for a dining table, console, or modernist Dimensions & Specs
