About the Item

Vintage 1970s Modern Purple and White Scavo Murano Glass Amphora Vase This impressive vintage vase, hailing from the 1970s, is a remarkable example of the "Scavo" technique, a unique style of Murano glassmaking. The term "Scavo," which means "excavated" or "dug up" in Italian, refers to a finish that gives the glass a textured, weathered, and ancient appearance, as if it has been buried for centuries. The body of the vase is a beautiful, deep purple color with a matte, frosted, and textured finish, reminiscent of archaeological finds. Its classic amphora shape features a flared rim and a rounded body. What makes this piece particularly special are the two applied handles on either side, crafted from contrasting white or clear glass, which add a modern and sculptural element to the design. The scavo finish on the purple glass gives the vase an earthy, organic feel, while the smooth, polished handles provide a striking textural and color contrast. This vase is a true collector's item and a testament to the innovation of Murano glass artists in the mid-20th century. It would be a sophisticated and stylish addition to any modernist, brutalist, or minimalist interior, whether displayed on its own or as a decorative piece. Excellent vintage condition with a natural, intended "aged" finish from the scavo technique.
