About the Item

This striking Murano glass canne pitcher carafe or vase, attributed to the legendary Gio Ponti, is a masterclass in Mid-Century Modern design and Italian craftsmanship. Created in the 1950s, this elegant vessel showcases Ponti's signature use of clean lines and bold geometric forms with alternating bands of a classic mid century modern orange and white. The piece is expertly crafted using the canne technique, an intricate method where glass canes are fused together to create a textured, visually compelling pattern. With its dynamic, sculptural presence, this atomic age pitcher captures the futuristic spirit of the era, making it an iconic addition to any collection of Murano glass or Mid-Century Modern design. The flowing, organic shape of the pitcher, paired with the luminous finish of the hand-blown glass, reflects the light beautifully, creating a soft, captivating glow that is typical of the finest Murano craftsmanship.
