This monumental Murano glass vase is attributed to the renowned designer Giorgio Ferro for A.V.E.M. (Arte Vetraria Muranese). The design, known as the 'Anse Volante' (flying handles), is an iconic example of the innovative glassblowing techniques of the 1950s and demonstrates a masterful command of form and material.
The vase is crafted from high-quality Murano glass and is characterized by a deep, saturated blue color that transitions into a clear, transparent base. The asymmetrical, organic design with the distinctive elongated handles creates a dynamic silhouette that fascinates from every angle. With an impressive height of 39.5 centimeters, this is a substantial object that draws attention. The matte, satin finish of the glass, often referred to as 'corroso' or 'scavo', gives the surface a refined texture that diffuses light in a soft manner.
The object is in exceptionally good condition, which is rare for glassware from this period. The original finish has remained completely intact, preserving the authentic appearance of the design.
This vase is a distinctive statement piece that fits perfectly in a Mid-Century Modern interior or serves as a striking contrast in a minimalist, contemporary space. It is a valuable addition for collectors of Italian design and glass art.
