Italian Modernist Mid-Century Paolo Venini Inciso Sommerso Murano Glass Vase 7.75 Inch Tapered Taupe and Amber Italian Art Glass, Circa 1950

This exceptional piece of mid-century Italian art glass represents the height of modernist design, created by the legendary Paolo Venini for Venini & C. in Murano, Italy during the 1950s. Standing at 7.75 inches tall, this authentic vintage vase features a classic tapered truncated cone silhouette that effortlessly anchors mid-century modern, minimalist, or contemporary collections. The masterfully crafted form showcases the complex sommerso technique, encasing a vibrant amber-orange band deep within the heavy, thick-walled glass base to contrast beautifully against the primary taupe-gray body.
The exterior of the vessel is completely finished with Venini’s signature inciso treatment, which consists of countless micro-fine, hand-cut horizontal engravings that lend the glass a luxurious, matte-satiny texture and a softly frosted appearance when caught by the light. Designed and hand-blown in Venice, Italy, during the mid-20th century era, the vase rests on a flat-polished base typical of high-end Murano production.
Dimensions: base diameter 2.25″ x top diameter 4.25″ x height 7.75″
