Murano glass vase "Pulegoso" in the shape of an amphora, with scroll handles, signed Seguso Vetri d'Arte.

This magnificent Mid-Century Modern glass art vase is a superb example of post-war Italian craftsmanship. It was designed and manufactured in the 1950s by the prestigious Seguso Vetri d’Arte glassworks in Murano, Italy. This vase features a bombé and elegant body, masterfully crafted using the complex technique known as "Pulegoso." This method involves deliberately incorporating thousands of tiny frosted air bubbles into the molten glass, creating an enchanting translucency reminiscent of a sponge, as well as a rich and pleasant surface texture that beautifully diffuses light. Enhancing its both classic and modern aesthetic, this vase is adorned with two transparent glass handles in a volute (spiral) shape, beautifully crafted, that frame the neck. This striking contrast between the dense, grainy texture of the body and the smooth, transparent handles illustrates the pinnacle of Murano glassmaking expertise. A timeless collector's piece, this authentic Murano vase fits wonderfully in both mid-century classic interiors and modern, minimalist spaces. Dimensions: Height: 9 inches / 23 cm. Diameter: 6.5 inches / 16.5 cm.
