Large Cobalt Blue Art Glass Vase - Murano Work - Italy 1960

Large Cobalt Blue Art Glass Vase - Murano - Italy, circa 1960. DESCRIPTION: A splendid and sculptural art glass vase, typical of the creations of the master glassmakers of Murano (Italy) in the 1960s. Made of thick blown glass, this vase is distinguished by its cobalt blue color, of remarkable intensity and depth, which beautifully captures the light. Its form is organic and lively, with a lobed base and a freely heat-worked "frilly" neck, demonstrating great technical mastery. Its substantial weight is a guarantee of the quality of the glass used. Although unsigned (often originally bearing a simple label), the style, the heat-drawn glass technique and the sculptural form are unmistakable markers of the Murano school. This is a highly decorative Mid-Century design piece, as beautiful on its own as with a floral arrangement. Condition: Excellent condition. Near mint. No chips, cracks or notable scratches. The glass is perfectly shiny and clear. Characteristics: Type: Art Glass. Origin: Murano School, Italy. Material: Blown glass. Period: Circa 1960-1970. Height: 20 cm. Diameter: 9 cm.
