Product description
Large Murano Uranium Glass Centerpiece by Seguso, Italy, 1950s–1960s — 50 cm
A striking and sculptural Murano glass centerpiece, attributed to the renowned Seguso glassworks, dating to the 1950s–1960s. Measuring an impressive 50 cm, this large-scale piece immediately commands attention and becomes a true focal point in any interior.
Crafted in an expressive organic form, it combines vibrant uranium glass with rich ruby-red accents — a spectacular interplay of color and light. The flowing, almost fluid silhouette with elegantly extended arms reflects the mastery of Murano artisans, where each piece is individually shaped by hand.
The glass transitions seamlessly from luminous green to deep red, creating depth, movement, and a strong visual presence. Under UV light, the uranium glass glows with an intense neon green, a fascinating feature that highlights its composition and adds to its collectability.
Murano glass, produced on the Venetian island of Murano, has been at the forefront of glassmaking since the 13th century. In the mid-20th century, Murano artists pushed boundaries, creating bold, sculptural forms that merged tradition with modern design — pieces like this are perfect examples of that evolution.
The Seguso family is one of Murano’s most important glassmaking dynasties, with roots dating back to the 14th century. Known for their technical innovation and refined artistic vision, Seguso pieces are highly regarded among collectors worldwide.
Condition: Excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
A true statement piece — equally suited for a refined mid-century interior or as a bold accent in a contemporary space. Vintage Murano glass of this quality and scale continues to grow in popularity, especially pieces combining uranium glass and expressive sculptural design.
The item will be very carefully packed and fully protected for shipping.
