Vintage Murano Art Glass Vase - Black with White & Red Eye Design - Mid-Century Modern

£30.00
Murano, Mid-century modern art glass, small decorative vase
Unmarked (typical of many Murano pieces from this era)
Mid-20th century (1960s-70s)
Italy

A striking vintage Murano art glass vase, at 9" (23cm) tall, in glossy black with a dramatic white and deep red “eye” motif. This eye-catching mid-century piece features a distinctive teardrop shape with an angled, slanted opening, creating wonderful sculptural appeal.

The bold contrast between the glossy black body and the white oval with central red circle creates a powerful graphic effect that’s typical of Italian art glass from this period. The angled opening and organic form add to its modernist aesthetic. The quality of the glass and striking design are consistent with Murano production. This would make a stunning statement piece on a shelf or mantelpiece.

Murano, the Venetian island famed for glassmaking since the 13th century, produced some of the most innovative art glass of the mid-20th century. During the 1960s-70s, Murano artists created bold, sculptural pieces featuring dramatic colours and graphic designs. Many pieces were left unmarked, making attribution challenging, but the quality and style speak to their Italian heritage.

Perfect for collectors of Murano glass, mid-century design, or anyone who loves bold vintage décor!

Good vintage condition with some light surface scratches and minor wear to the glossy finish consistent with age and handling. No chips or cracks. The piece remains very displayable.

The details given are to the best of our knowledge. If you need alternative postage arrangements or wish to arrange for collection, please get in touch with us. Each piece will be carefully wrapped and packed in a durable cardboard box for maximum protection. We strive to use recycled packaging whenever possible to minimize our environmental impact, so your order might arrive in a repurposed Amazon or cat food box.
