Exceptional hand-blown Murano glass vase featuring spiral canes in opalescent white and soft aqua, rising into a dramatic ruffled rim. The layered ribbons create beautiful depth and tonal variation from milky opaline to clear sea-green.
Under UV light, the upper rim and interior base exhibit a subtle uranium glass fluorescence, confirming the presence of uranium oxide in the glass batch—a traditional Murano colouring agent used to produce luminous green tones. This adds both collector appeal and authenticity.
A sculptural, high-quality example of Venetian art glass from the mid–late 20th century.
