About the Item

La Murrina Murano Glass Amphora Vase with Scavo Decoration – Signed This Murano glass vase by La Murrina is a fine example of postwar Venetian glass design, distinguished by its amphora form and the application of the scavo technique—a surface treatment developed in the mid-20th century to simulate the appearance of ancient, excavated glass. The vase is hand-blown and finished in a chalky off-white tone with pale green inflections. The scavo process involves the controlled application of chemical compounds to the glass surface, producing a matte, mineralized texture that recalls archaeological finds. This treatment not only enhances the visual depth of the piece but also connects contemporary craftsmanship with classical antiquity. Signed by La Murrina, a prominent Murano glassmaker active since the 1960s and known for its collaboration with Italian designers and its commitment to traditional techniques within a modern context. Dimensions: Height: 31.5 cm (12.4 in) Diameter: 15 cm (5.9 in) This piece offers particular interest to collectors of 20th-century Italian glass and design, as well as to interior designers seeking historically informed decorative objects with strong material presence. We specialized in antique and 20th century ceramics, glass and objects, like lamps, side tables, stools, mirrors, etc. Please check out our storefront ¨Gorgeous Vases¨ for more items in this style.
