Crafted using two iconic Venetian glass techniques, the lamp features a thick outer shell in pulegoso glass, densely infused with microscopic air bubbles that capture and refract light. At its center sits an inner incamiciato opal white glass diffuser, seamlessly accented by polished chrome-plated metal details on the top rim and circular base.

When illuminated, the dual-layer glass structure creates a mesmerizing visual depth. It projects a soft, glare-free ambient glow through the central diffuser while highlighting the sparkling, tactile texture of the bubble-infused outer glass.

Excellent vintage condition. The hand-blown Murano glass body is clean and structurally sound, free of chips, cracks, or deep scratches. The chrome-plated metal base and top rim retain a bright finish with minimal signs of age.

Fully serviced, rewired, and safety tested. Fitted with a standard E27 screw-in socket (compatible with modern LED bulbs) and inline switch. Ready for global use across all voltage systems.

Pulegoso glass pioneered in Murano by Napoleon Martinuzzi in the late 1920s—requires adding deliberate air bubbles to molten glass, while incamiciato involves layering opaque white glass inside clear glass. Combining both master techniques in a single Space Age geometric silhouette makes this lamp particularly rare and sought after by design collectors.
