Murano Vase - Sommerso with Stripes - Black & White - 1990

Sublime vase sculpture in the shape of an asymmetrical drop, a true masterpiece of high art glass from Murano dating from the 1990s. This sculptural and massive piece (nearly 3 kg) instantly captures the eye with its timeless design and radical graphic contrast. It was created using the mastery of complex glass techniques: vetro a fasce (striped glass) alternating black ribbons and opaque white milky glass (lattimo). This core with a fluid zebra pattern "Zebrato" is then enhanced by the Sommerso technique, suspended in weightlessness within a very thick and clear layer of transparent crystal. The quality of execution of this Italian handcrafted piece is masterful. The neck, ground with a polished bevel, offers stunning light refraction effects. The underside reveals a pontil ground into a hollow lens, a meticulous finish that signifies the superior standard of this luxury glassware. Condition: Perfect gallery condition. The crystalline mass is of absolute clarity, free from any defects or scratches, offering exceptional brilliance. Dimensions: Height 19 cm|Width 12 cm. Weight: 2.887 kg.
