About the Item

A stunning large Murano art glass vase from the 1960s, hand-blown by the Luigi Mandruzzato furnace (Molatura Vetri Murano). Crafted in the sommerso technique — developed and perfected in Murano and famously advanced by designer Flavio Poli — this beautifully faceted four-tone piece features polished sides and rim, showcasing a striking combination of light blue, turquoise, yellow/amber, and deep cobalt glass layers that capture and reflect light magnificently. An exceptional decorative statement piece, this vase remains in good condition, free from damage, with only marginal signs of age. Height: 10 in (25 cm) Diameter: 4 in (10 cm) Weight: 4.8 lbs (2.2 kg) Luigi Mandruzzato (born 1934 on Murano) is one of the best-known names in Venetian glass craftsmanship. The Mandruzzato family furnace, founded in 1934, became renowned under his direction for its mastery of vetri molati – faceted, hand-cut glass. From the 1960s onward, the workshop developed its iconic geometric sommerso vases and sculptures, admired for their bold colors, clear lines, and crystalline facets. Alongside Seguso Vetri d’Arte with Flavio Poli, Archimede Seguso, and Venini with designers like Scarpa and Bianconi, Mandruzzato’s creations defined the artistic vitality of Murano in the mid-20th century.
