Large Statement Piece Red Orange and White Italian Glass Vase

A stunning red, orange and white glass vase in heavy glass, this is most likely from the workshops of Murano, the Venetian glass makers responsible for many mid-century classics. It dates from the early 1970s and - due to its size and weight - is very much a statement piece. The vase measures approximately 28cm (11 in.) in height with a rim diameter of 6cm (2½ in.) and a similar base diameter. The interior of the vase is white glass whilst the exterior is composed of a swirling effect with red, white and orange colours (any resemblance to the planet Jupiter almost certainly deliberate!), with proportions which emphasise the upper section of the vase and the rim.

In very good condition with no chips or cracks, the vase has a few minor imperfections some of which are undoubtledly originating from the manufacturing process. A rare piece which is sure to attract attention.

Heavy Vintage Rounded Square Glass Bowl with Smoked Mustard-Orange Gradient

Weighing in at almost 900g this rounded square bowl is a solidly sculpted piece of glass and certainly an eye-catching piece, possibly from Murano, but this cannot be confirmed with absolute certainty. With its very thick rounded rim in clear glass and its graduated colour which appears almost solid at the base, it interacts with light in very interesting ways. From some angles there's a mustard-like tone to the colour, from other angles it's more of a deep orange-brown, and then again, dark brown hues almost a black tone, takes precedent in the refracted colours. Measuring approximately 18cm (7 in.) square at the rim, and approximately 7.5 cm (3 in.) in height, it makes much more of a statement than its dimensions suggest.

The bowl is in generally good condition. There are some minor grazes and surface scratches throughout but no chips or cracks and there's nothing that immediately catches the eye in a detrimental way. A little stunner, albeit a chunky one!

A stunning three colour "sommerso" Italian glass sculpture in teardrop shape, possibly attributable to Flavio Poli for Seguso, in rose pink, pale cyan/teal and blue colourway. Dating from the 1960s, it requires little more in the way of words to describe it. We'll let the pictures and the item do the talking...

In good original condition with only one minor flaw which is a nibble to the base which is not visble when placed. Due to the nature of manufacture there are some very tiny bubbles internal to the glass work.
The sculpture weighs approximately 925 grams and measures approximately 17cm (6¾ in.) in height, 9.5cm (3¾ in.) at its widest, with a depth of approximately 6cm (2¼ in.)
