Story
In the 1950s, the island of Murano became a laboratory for radical design, moving away from traditional ornate styles toward bold, sculptural forms that captured the 'Space Age' spirit.
Maker / Origin
While many Murano pieces from this era remain unsigned, the craftsmanship points to the legendary workshops where 'Maestros' collaborated with avant-garde architects.
Condition & Value
The surface appears to have a high-gloss finish with no visible cracks or large chips. Authentic mid-century Murano glass with complex murrine patterns and 'cased' colors is highly collectible.
