$495.00 AUD
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Faceted art glass block vases were produced by many manufacturers on the island of Murano, Italy, with the most popular and well-known being Mandruzzato.

Whilst the company is well-known for their exquisite pieces of highly sought after glass, they are by no means the only company that delivered such incredible pieces.

Most if not all of these faceted art glass block vases feature a layered colour submerged effect, known as as 'sommerso' (the Italian word for submerged), which was made famous on the island of Murano itself.


THIS LISTING:

This particular piece was indeed manufactured by Mandruzzato, as per the paper label still intact. This shape/model was known as 'Goccia'.

It measures approx 8" tall (20.5cm) and has gorgeous tones of coffee and golden amber submerged in the clear glass.

It is also in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks or scratches.

 

Mandruzzato was established in 1934 by Benjamin Mandruzzato on the island of Murano, Italy. The company is family run and today, still in operation, is overseen by Benjamin's grandson, Alessandro Mandruzzato.
