Hand-Blown Scavo-Style Murano Art Glass Vase

This is a contemporary hand-blown art glass vase featuring a flared, organic silhouette. The body of the piece is characterized by a 'scavo' (excavated) finish, which mimics the weathered, matte texture of ancient glass unearthed from archaeological sites. This effect is achieved by applying chemical salts to the glass surface while it is hot. The primary color of the body is a warm cream or parchment tone, deeply veined with dark, web-like crackle patterns that provide high visual contrast and an aged aesthetic. The top rim is finished with a thick, polished wrap of deep oxblood or claret red glass, providing a bold color contrast to the muted body. The vase sits on a clear, solid glass base that appears to be integrated into the form. The construction shows high-quality craftsmanship, likely originating from a Murano-based studio or a high-end art glass manufacturer mimicking Venetian techniques (possibly mid-to-late 20th century). No manufacturer marks or signatures are immediately visible on the exterior surface shown. The piece appears to be in good vintage condition with no major chips or structural cracks visible, though the intentional scavo finish hides minor surface wear naturally.
