Vintage Cobalt Blue Crystal Vase Sculpture - Murano Style

Superb vintage vase sculpture from the 1960s-1970s, characteristic of the work of master glassmakers from Eastern France (in the style of Art Vannes France or Daum) or Murano. The Design: This "Free Form" model evokes the splash of a droplet of water or stylised coral. The technique used is remarkable: a parison of intense Cobalt Blue glass is hand-stretched while hot to form organic "fingers, " all resting on a heavy base of clear crystal (inverted Sommerso technique). The Aesthetic: It is a true "piece of light." The depth of the blue changes depending on the lighting and the time of day. Its elongated and dynamic line makes it a powerful decorative object, even without flowers. Condition: Excellent condition. The glass is clear and shiny. No chips are to be reported on the points (which is rare for this type of very tapered model). No limescale veil. Ideal for enlivening a sober decor or for complementing an Art Design glass collection. Dimensions: Height: 25.5cm. Diameter (at widest point): 13cm.
