The bold turquoise color stands out beautifully in the light. At approximately 11" tall and 13.5" wide, it is larger than most battuto vases which require considerable hand crafting. Weighing almost 9 pounds, it has a solid, well-made feel. Perfect for displaying flowers or simply as a standalone sculptural piece. Whether you're a collector or just looking to add a touch of elegance to your home, this Murano glass vase is sure to impress. The design is attributed to the architect Carlo Scarpa. But as is true with most murano designs it was likely made by other glass makers on the island. The vase is unsigned.

The piece is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There is minor surface wear and the bottom has scratches as can be seen in the 6th photo. Clean and display ready. See less
