This Murano glass vase, attributed to the renowned Barovier & Toso manufactory and crafted in the 1950s, represents the cordonato d'oro technique at its finest. The slightly oval, slender form is vertically ribbed, with shimmering gold leaf inclusions suspended within the thick, crystal-clear glass. The dominant hue is a warm, translucent golden yellow, and the highly polished surface intensifies the brilliance and depth of the gold flecks. Measuring 17 cm in height, 11 cm in width, and 8 cm in depth, the vase’s proportions embody mid-century Italian modernism—combining organic inspiration with refined decorative opulence. The piece is substantial in weight, yet the tactile contrast between smooth glass and delicate ribbing adds an element of sophistication. Condition: excellent, with only minor vintage base scratches.
The vase tells the story of Italian design’s golden era, when Murano set the benchmark for artistic glassmaking. Its shape recalls the gentle opening of a tulip, while the interplay of light and gold within the glass creates a sense of inner luminosity. The cordonato d'oro technique—demanding both precision and artistry—renders each piece unique, turning a utilitarian object
