About the Item

A striking and highly sculptural work of glass art by Cenedese, featuring an unconventional form with twin spouts and a fluid, circular handle that arcs gracefully between them. Though shaped as a vase, the piece functions primarily as an object of art—a study in balance, tension, and silhouette more than utility. Signed and dated on the underside, the piece reflects the mid-20th-century spirit of experimentation that defined the Murano glass movement. With its biomorphic curves and open negative space, this rare design aligns beautifully with the language of organic modernism—where form follows feeling, and material is elevated through abstraction. Founded in 1946, Gino Cenedese & C. quickly distinguished itself among Murano glasshouses for its willingness to blur boundaries between decorative and fine art. This piece exemplifies that ethos, offering a bold, almost surrealist interpretation of a traditional vessel. Whether displayed on a pedestal, console, or shelf, it makes a striking statement—a form that invites contemplation more than containment. Designers such as Rick Owens, Axel Vervoordt, or Waldo Fernandez might pair such a piece with stone, plaster, or raw wood—using its organic geometry to bring softness and movement to rigorously minimal interiors. A rare and poetic example of Murano glass as sculpture, bridging tradition and modernism through material mastery.
