Vintage Murano Glass Decorative Sculpture / Block, Unusual Collectible, Rare

About the Item

Rare Murano Sculpture - Modern Murano Art - Handblown Murano Glass Unusual, attractive and heavy Murano glass sculptural block. This uncommon decorative piece looks like a crystal rock, but is crafted in Murano glass as visible from the tiny bubble inside. Two faces are grinded flat, while the sides are polished but organic, fluid and irregular. The aquamarine hue of the clear glass is similar to that used by Max Ingrand in most of his works for Fontana Arte and Saint Gobain. Very big, it’s the perfect addition for a curated interior or a thematic Murano collection. It shows some scratches on the flat sides, but other than that is in very good overall conditions. For more unusual and decorative Mid-Century items, have a look at our storefron - check us out at Spinzi Milano!

Vintage Finnish Glass Vase by Erkki Vesanto, Signed, Rare Collectible Decorative
By Erkki Vesanto, Iittala
Located in Milano, IT
Murano Glass is a world-famous excellence. Not everyone, though, knows Finnish Glass – an equally refined, and possibly less common niche of blown and moulded vases and sculptures. The present vase is indeed an example of this latter school: designed by Erkki Vesanto, whose signature is clearly legible behind the base, it’s a “Sommerso” grey and clear vase, with a thick vase and a very fine construction. It is extremely well preserved and a wonderful decorative touch for your special interior. Will look great on a coffee table, console or bookshelf.
