Murano ICET Calla Lily Solitaire Glass Vase

This is a hand-blown clear art glass vase designed in the elegant form of a Calla Lily (Zantedeschia). The piece is crafted from thick, high-clarity lead-free glass, showcasing the organic fluidity associated with Mid-Century Modern glassmaking. The vase stands on a heavy, scalloped circular base that provides stability for the slender, tapering stem. The 'flower' portion of the vase features a deeply textured, ruffled rim that mimics the natural folds of a lily petal, terminating in a delicate pointed tip. The interior of the bloom transitions into an elongated neck intended for a single stem. Notable is the original gold foil label visible on the base, marked 'ICET Murano ARTE VENEZUELA,' confirming its manufacture by the Industria Venezolana del Vidrio C.A. (ICET) established by Italian glassblowers in Venezuela during the mid-20th century. The item appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding, though surface scratches consistent with use may be present on the underside of the base. The craftsmanship displays high-quality hand-manipulated techniques, particularly in the intricate ribbing of the outer petal surface.
