Description

A radiant Murano ice glass vase that epitomizes the mastery of Venetian sommerso craftsmanship. This treasure glows with deep golden amber tones, layered and suspended within crystal clear glass, creating a hypnotic interplay of light and texture. Hand faceted edges and a tactile, “ice glass” surface evoke the raw beauty of frozen landscapes, while the precision-cut geometry reflects mid century modern elegance.

Rich amber hues melt seamlessly into translucent clarity, a signature of Murano’s handmade tradition. The “ice glass” finish, with its frosted, crystalline texture, contrasts sharply with the vase’s polished facets for a tactile and visual feast.

a bold yet versatile size for shelves, consoles, or as a standalone sculpture.

Immaculate – no chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor base wear confirms its vintage pedigree.

Alessandro Mandruzzato, a fourth-generation Murano legend, Mandruzzato redefined glass art with his patented cold engraving techniques and collaborations with avant-garde architects. His work, like this vase, blend experimental textures with timeless sommerso layering earning him accolades like the Globo Tricolore for Italian excellence. Rarely signed, his pieces are authenticated by their daring forms and technical precision.  Few Mandruzzato ice glass vases surface in such pristine condition, as his output was limited.

Attribution: While Murano factories (e.g., Bucella Cristalli, V. Nason) mimicked faceted styles, this vase’s golden amber depth and ice-like texture are hallmarks of Mandruzzato’s innovation.

This vase isn’t just décor it’s a timeless fragment of Murano’s golden age, where fire and ingenuity birthed heirlooms.
