Large Murano Glass Pendant Light by Carlo Nason for Mazzega – Italy 1970's

An impressive and rare large-scale Mid-Century Modern pendant light, masterfully crafted in Murano, Italy, during the 1970s. This striking fixture is widely attributed to the celebrated designer Carlo Nason for A.V. Mazzega. The oversized, hand-blown glass shade features an elegant, undulating chalice silhouette. It is decorated with a mesmerizing, organic white speckled pattern (often referred to as vetro mofisa or cloud glass) infused into clear crystal glass. When illuminated, the fixture diffuses a wonderfully warm, soft, and atmospheric glow, highlighting the intricate texture of the Italian craftsmanship. The glass shade is beautifully complemented by its original, minimalist chrome-plated hardware and top loop, epitomizing the high-end space-age aesthetic of the era. With its generous proportions and dramatic drop—measuring 45.28 inches (115 cm) in total height with a 16.93-inch (43 cm) diameter—this statement piece is perfect for an entryway, above a dining table, or as a focal point in a sophisticated living space. Condition. Good vintage condition. The hand-blown Murano glass is free of cracks, chips, or significant scratches.
