This small Murano glass vase from the 1950s is a vivid example of Italian artisanal craftsmanship. Crafted from transparent glass in a deep, saturated ruby red, the piece features a decorative ruffled base and an elegantly curved clear glass handle – both elements providing a delicate contrast to the bold red body. The surface is adorned with a subtle diamond or honeycomb pattern, lending rich texture and visual depth. The proportions are classic for mid-century modern Murano: a bulbous lower body, slender neck, and a pronounced spout. Traces of the original manufacturer’s sticker confirm authenticity. The vase is in very good vintage condition, with no visible chips or cracks. This form speaks with the voice of 1950s Murano: the saturated ruby hue – like a drop of light caught in motion – tells of an era when glass blended function with sculptural imagination. The ruffled base and spiral detail at the handle evoke the sensual lightness typical of mid-century, while the luminous surface animates every detail, highlighting the hand-made nature and organic, flowing lines. The vase can be displayed on a light marble surface, an oak console, or a minimalist shelf to fully showcase its color and nuanced texture. It would serve as a striking accent in both classic mid-century modern arrangements and in eclectic, contemporary collector’s interiors. It may be paired with simple ceramics, clear glass, or a single branch, allowing the form to shine and the light to play freely across its surface. The listed price refers to a single piece.
