This exceptional and highly decorative pair of Murano art glass vases takes the classical form of ancient Roman amphorae. Meticulously handcrafted by the renowned Venetian furnace Gambaro & Poggi during the late 20th century, the set features a striking, sophisticated color palette consisting of a delicate powder pink (rosa cipria) vase and a vibrant seafoam green/turquoise vase.
Both specimens are executed utilizing the iconic and complex "Scavo" technique. This specialized process involves applying specific chemical compounds and salts to the glass surface during the blowing stage, resulting in a beautifully textured, matte, and calcified finish that emulates the organic weathering of excavated antiquities.
The anthropomorphic elegance of each vessel is accentuated by applied twin scroll handles in a rich, contrasting dark glass, anchored onto a hot-applied circular ring base. Crucially, both pieces retain their original and pristine "Vetri Murano" (VM) authenticity labels bearing the official factory code 039, providing ironclad provenance for serious collectors.
Presented in pristine museum-grade condition, this curated pair offers a sophisticated symmetry perfectly suited for high-end residential interiors and discerning collectors of post-war Italian design.
