This Murano glass sculpture, dating from around 1980, exemplifies Italian modernist artistry. Crafted from clear, profiled crystal glass and hand-faceted at the base, it stands tall and slender (height 47 cm, length 19 cm, width 14 cm). The solid glass base is meticulously cut with flat planes, reflecting and refracting light to create a sense of depth. Embedded within the transparent body are intense cobalt blue bands, arranged in fluid, abstract lines that animate the clear form. The glossy, highly polished surface enhances the sculptural silhouette, while the proportions and finishing reveal the technical mastery characteristic of Venetian glassmaking. Condition: excellent, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration. The sculpture evokes an era when Murano glassmakers innovated boldly with color and abstraction, blending tradition with the spirit of 1980s modernity. The interplay of transparency and deep blue encapsulated in glass conjures the calm flow of a lagoon, while the dynamic lines suggest movement and transformation. Its vertical, elegant form seems to reach upward, capturing a moment of light and expression typical of late 20th-century Italian design. The piece is a silent testament to the technical skill and creative freedom that defined Murano's contribution to global art. This glass form can be displayed on a living room console or against a minimalist shelf, where natural or focused light will highlight the interplay between blue ribbons and transparency. It may be paired with other objects from the 1970s and 80s, especially in the company of wood, marble, or metal, which will emphasize its modernist qualities. The sculpture works equally well in mid-century modern inspired interiors or eclectic collections, serving as a striking artistic centerpiece.
