Sculpture "nebulosa"

An extraordinary disc-shaped sculpture made of solid Murano glass from the “NEBULOSA” series, created by Stefano Toso for Toso Vetri d’Arte in the 1960s.
An iconic piece of Mid-Century Italian design. The transparent glass body encloses a central spiral vortex created with cobalt blue, light blue, and white aventurine glass rods. The optical effect is that of a moving nebula, hence the name.

Made using the sommerso and murrine techniques, with cold-polished exterior surfaces.
Important: The piece is numbered No. 27/262 and is accompanied by the original label bearing the title “NEBULOSA,” the signatures “Stef. Toso" and "Murano." It also features a hand-engraved signature on the base.
