Discover this artistic creation by Formia Murano, a Venetian workshop renowned for its craftsmanship passed down through generations. This vase from 1970 perfectly embodies the elegance of Italian design and the magic of hand-blown glass. This piece showcases a high level of technical mastery, combining two emblematic techniques of Murano. It is made using the Sommerso technique (submerged glass), where a vibrant purple heart is encapsulated in a mass of clear crystal. The transition area is enhanced by a complex Bullicante work (bubbled glass), which involves trapping a density of fine, regular air bubbles around the coloured heart. This combination creates a spectacular depth effect, where the airy texture of the bubbles appears suspended within the transparency of the glass. The neck, delicately shaped into stylised petals, gives the silhouette a unique sculptural fluidity. Condition: The vase is in impeccable condition. It shows no chips or cracks. The original signature "Formia Murano" is finely engraved under the base, certifying the authenticity of this piece. Dimensions: H 23.5cm|Width of belly 11.5cm|Width of neck 13cm|Weight: 1.334kg. Each shipment is handled with the utmost care. The vase will be protected by reinforced packaging with high-density professional materials to ensure secure shipping.
