ABOUT PRODUCTID 15008
This hand-blown glass leek, crafted in the vintage Murano style, reflects a tradition of mid-20th-century European glassmaking rooted in German studios of the 1970s and 1980s. The silhouette (21 cm tall, 6 cm in diameter) features organically flowing lines, shifting from a vivid, cool green to an opalescent milky white with a transparent root-like base. The original manufacturer's foil sticker remains affixed to the surface, confirming both authenticity and collectible value. The lustrous, flawlessly smooth glass highlights subtle striations and embedded fibers, making this piece not only an artistic rendering but also an understated testament to the era's glassmaking technique. There are no signs of use, chipping, or discoloration—the condition can be described as pristine, new, with intact original labeling.
The form channels the playful spirit and sense of novelty characteristic of the retro era. Throughout the 1970s, everyday objects were often recast as collectible miniatures or artistic nods to nature—this leek’s layered gradient and gently undulating silhouette echo a botanical logic, as if a slice of garden has been paused beneath glass. Though the maker is unknown, the piece speaks in the language of Central European decorative glass: measured in form, focused in color, quietly modern in concept.
For interiors, this object may serve as an unexpected accent on a bookshelf, on a kitchen shelf alongside Italian ceramics, or atop a sideboard in an open-plan living area. It can be paired with other vintage glass fruits and vegetables to form a collectible grouping, or conversely, left solo in
