About the Item
This iridescent Murano-style glass vase, made in Italy around the 1970s, exemplifies the artistry and technical finesse associated with Italian studio glass. Its distinctive freeform shape echoes a double truncated cone, rendered in thick, luminous glass. Inside, a striking matrix of bubbles—created through the Efeso bubble technique—interacts beautifully with the vase’s shimmering oil-slick iridescence, reminiscent of designs by Ercole Barovier.
Small applied glass buttons punctuate either side of the vase, adding a sculptural element and tactile intrigue. The interplay of vivid color reflections and the dynamic bubble structure gives this piece a vivid presence under changing light.
Standing 19 cm high with a diameter of 10 cm, it remains in very good vintage condition, bearing only minor superficial marks on its rough-polished base, consistent with age and use. While the maker is unknown, the quality suggests a skilled artisan steeped in the traditions of Murano glassmaking.
A captivating piece for collectors of vintage art glass or those seeking a unique statement object, this vase offers a vibrant touch of mid-century Italian elegance.

Turquoise Glass Squat Bottle Vase in Mdina ‘Ming’ Pattern, Signed 1979, Malta
By Mdina, Michael Harris
Located in Glasgow, GB
A rare signed Mdina Glass vase from Malta, dated 1979, exemplifying the studio’s bold aesthetic during its formative years.
This decorative squat bottle vase is worked in the celebrated ‘Ming’ pattern, with swirling bands of turquoise blue and deep green glass layered over a base of sparkling golden ochre. The colours twist upward in irregular spirals around the rotund body, forming a richly tactile surface that captures the light beautifully.
This form—low, broad, and full-bodied—is less commonly encountered, particularly in this scale. Measuring 16.5 cm in both height and diameter, it’s a commanding example of vintage Mdina glass...
