Large Mid-Century Modern Murano Style Brown and Tan Tortoise Shell Glass Vase

About the Item

Exquisite Murano style tan tortoiseshell pattern sculptural glass vase. A wonderful large vessel screaming to be displayed. Round in form, the small round base widens up through the center into a large circular vessel and cinches in at the top. A large lip reaches out and creates a small flat ledge. A unique and rare pattern sets this vase apart from other Murano pieces. And is often referred to as a tortoise pattern or leopard pattern. Tall wide strokes of deep brown and blacks decorate the vessel throughout and are on an orange or yellow-tan background. A classic piece that will bring warmth to any space. How We Would Style It: This classic beauty will fit into any room effortlessly. For the traditionalist, we love the idea of this tortoise pattern vase resting on a tall wood splay leg bobbin table. Placed alongside a lamp, and a photo frame of your favorite person, it is the perfect scale to add a subtle touch of elegance. (Style Tip: Groupings of three make a beautiful vignette, and keep the area looking too busy) Alternatively, for the maximalist, or the Mid-Century Modern lover, this vessel is great for placing on top of a credenza or dining table. Just be sure it is paired with tall leafy flowers. Preferably something with a touch of green for added contrast. Dimensions: 4.1 lbs. 9.5" tall 10" diameter Neck is 5.25" diameter.
