This Murano vase from the 1950s is crafted from crystal glass colored in mass using the sommerso technique, a hallmark of mid-century Venetian craftsmanship. The cool, saturated turquoise gradually transitions into a transparent, warm yellow at the base, producing the layered, gradient effect distinctive to sommerso glassmaking. The silhouette is minimalist, featuring a slender, elongated neck that broadens into a rounded, substantial base, emphasizing verticality and balanced proportions. The glass surface is perfectly smooth and highly polished, intensifying its luminosity and mirror-like reflections. The base is meticulously ground and polished flat, in keeping with the traditions of Murano artisans. The vase is in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.The form of this vase speaks to the spirit of Italian modernism of the 1950s, when Murano glassmakers combined a search for purity of line with a fascination for color and light. The transition from turquoise to yellow evokes the lagoon encircling Venice and the southern sunlight glimmering on water. The vase tells a story of harmony and refined simplicity, with each reflection on its polished surface capturing a fragment of Italian design history.The vase may be displayed on a console or sideboard in the living room, where its luminous color and proportions can be fully appreciated. It would work well in both mid-century modern collector’s interiors and minimalist spaces, where a single color accent sets the tone. The vase can be paired with other Murano glass objects or a single expressive flower to highlight its subtlety. When surrounded by matte surfaces or neutral textiles, its clarity and radiance become a central focus within the room.
