Description :

Mid-Century Murano Art Glass Vase – Hand-Blown Blue with Bulbous Form & Scalloped Rim – Italy

A stunning Murano art glass vase, hand-blown in Italy and crafted in a vivid cobalt-blue tone. The design features a bulbous body with vertical ribbing and a scalloped, flower-like rim, a hallmark of Murano’s mastery in combining organic form with rich color. Subtle controlled bubbles (bullicante) can be seen within the glass, adding texture and depth. Perfect as a decorative centerpiece or as part of a curated Murano collection.

Measurements (range):

  • Height: Approx. 6.5"–7.5"

  • Width (widest point): Approx. 3.5"–4.5"

Historical Note:
Murano glassmaking traditions date back to the late 13th century, with Venetian artisans becoming world-renowned for their innovative techniques, bold use of color, and sculptural artistry. By the mid-20th century, Murano artists embraced modernist aesthetics, producing pieces that balanced functionality with striking design. This vase’s cobalt hue and organic shaping are characteristic of Murano’s celebrated mid-century artistry, making it both a collectible and timeless decorative object.

Value:
Murano vases of this size and quality typically range between $150–$300 in the collector’s market, with higher valuations when color, condition, and form align with mid-century production.
