About the Item
A striking Murano glass vase in deep, glossy black, created in the 1980s by the renowned OBALL glass factory, part of the Vetri Murano (VM) consortium. The piece still retains its original VM label, confirming its provenance and authenticity.
The form is harmonious and balanced, with a gently rounded body and a thick, sculpted rim that enhances its bold presence. The pure, opaque black surface captures the light in subtle reflections, emphasizing its both classical inspiration and modern elegance.
The black shape is enriched with delicate suspensions of gold leaf that shimmer under the light, revealing subtle textures within the dark body.
This vase exemplifies the sophisticated research of Murano glassmakers in the late 20th century, where minimalist purity of color and form became a refined statement of contemporary taste. Both decorative and collectible, it is an emblem of OBALL’s mastery and of Murano’s unique artistry.
