About the Item

This elegant and striking modernist vase is a testament to the innovative artistry of the Cenedese glassworks on Murano. Dating from the 1960s, this piece features a sophisticated purple hue with a beautiful frosted "scavo" finish, which gives the glass a subtle, antique-like texture reminiscent of archaeological finds. The minimalist, trumpet-like form of the vase is characteristic of the period's sleek design aesthetic. The vase's graceful silhouette begins with a round, bulbous base that tapers into a long, slender neck, flaring out slightly at the top rim. The scavo treatment, a technique pioneered by Murano artisans, gives the surface a tactile, matte quality that beautifully contrasts with the polished smoothness of traditional glass. This tall piece is in excellent vintage condition. It is a perfect addition for collectors of mid-century modern design and Italian art glass, offering both a delicate color and a unique textural element. The vase is in perfect condition.
