Vintage lamp - Murano - Space age - Design - Mushroom - 70s

Vintage table lamp, attributed to Murano, made of blown white opaline glass with speckles, typical of Venetian glassworks, featuring a pear-shaped (or drop-shaped) diffuser made of multilayer blown glass, and a circular base in metal or gilded brass. The glass has a speckled decoration, composed of numerous small irregular fragments in black, gray, and silver, directly incorporated into the material. These inclusions become particularly visible and luminous when the lamp is turned on. This work follows traditional Venetian glass techniques, integrating small shards or fragments of colored glass into the material during production, according to the incalmo / pulegoso technique enriched with gold leaf or gold dust (polvere d'oro). The lamp rests on a circular base in gilded metal, creating a nice contrast with the white opaline glass. With its organic shape, decorative glass, and colors, it presents a Mid-Century Modern, retro, and Space Age aesthetic, typical of certain Italian productions from the 1960s/1970s.
