About the Item

The Burlesco vase, crafted from Murano glass by Egidio Costantini for Fucina degli Angeli in 1960, is a signed piece that pays homage to Olmec themes. This design stems from the collaboration between Costantini and Pablo Picasso, a partnership that began in 1954. Inspired by Picasso, Costantini revolutionized glass production by creating pieces with thick, compact walls and bold geometric forms, challenging the traditional fragility of glass. Costantini skillfully translated Picasso's ideas, forms, and sketches into remarkable glass sculptures. The Burlesco vase is notably heavy, with pronounced lines and a matte finish. Please note that the vase’s colors in photos may vary depending on the surrounding light and environment.
