Essential, modernist shape: teardrop-shaped body with a tail wrapped around the base, tapered neck, and bubble ears. No superfluous details, just the silhouette and the light passing through the glass.

Deep midnight blue that veers to electric petrol/cobalt blue when transparent, typical of Murano glass from the 1960s. Heavy, hand-blown glass with the classic internal air bubbles typical of artisanal craftsmanship.

Signed on the base with a pointed signature, as shown in the detail photo. Flat ground base.

A totem object, minimal chic, nocturnal. Alone on travertine, light oak, or linen, it's already a statement piece. Perfect paired with white ceramics or clear glass. See less
