This Murano mosaic glass vase from the 1960s exemplifies Italian craftsmanship, where tradition merges with the expressive spirit of mid-century modernism. The vase features a bulbous base that transitions into a slender neck, flaring out to a wide, undulating, and asymmetrically ruffled rim. Entirely hand-shaped from thick, high-quality glass with a cool, smooth texture and polished gloss, the surface is dominated by deep, lustrous black interspersed with dynamic streaks of fiery red and subtle white accents—creating a mottled, mosaic effect characteristic of Venetian artistry from this era. Measuring 14.5 cm in height and 9 cm in diameter, the vase is preserved in excellent condition with no visible signs of use, damage, or restoration. The vase resonates with the liberated voice of 1960s Italy: its energetic, spontaneous rim recalls the avant-garde, while the dense mosaic of colors tells the story of Murano glass—where experimentation with hue and form was an act of creative boldness. This object not only holds flowers but also captures light and the memory of artistic freedom, as if the material itself narrates a time when utilitarian art acquired a sculptural dimension. Every detail—from the seamless color transitions to the organic wave of the edge—reflects the handcraft and individuality inherent to each unique piece. The vase can be displayed solo on an oak console or marble surface, where daylight will accentuate its vivid mosaic. It would suit interiors styled in mid-century modern, but could also provide an intriguing accent in eclectic spaces—set against matte walls or alongside ceramics with simple lines. Pairing it with minimalist graphic art would emphasize the pulsating energy of the glass, or group it with other Murano pieces to create a collectible arrangement. Used for small bouquets, it gains an artful presence on a coffee table or bookshelf
