Overview

A striking example of Venetian 'incamiciato' or jacketed glass, featuring a vibrant sky-blue exterior and a deep ruby-red interior.

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.
