Toso Murano – Large solid glass vase with gold dust inclusions – 20th century
Large sculptural vase by Toso Murano, made of solid glass with gold dust inclusions.
The vase features a distinctive flattened shape, with broad shoulders, a narrow neck, and two raised side edges, embellished with transparent yellow glass appliqués.
The body, characterized by a dense texture of metallic inclusions against a purplish background, features a large abstract decoration in intense cobalt blue glass on the front. On the back, a series of yellow glass appliqués arranged in concentric arcs completes the composition.
The transparency of the solid glass and the chromatic contrasts give the object a distinctive decorative presence.
Mark: Toso Murano.
