A bold and sculptural example of Murano glass artistry, this fazzoletto vase (“little handkerchief”) captures the movement and drama of mid-century Venetian design.
Hand-blown on the island of Murano, the vase features flowing, ruffled folds reminiscent of fabric, with open panels that create light play through the body. The striking palette of deep red, jet black, and fiery yellow swirls adds dynamic contrast and showcases the mastery of Murano glassmakers.
