Mid-Century Modern Murano-Style Fazzoletto Hand-Blown Art Glass Vase

This is a hand-blown art glass vase featuring a 'fazzoletto' (handkerchief) design, characterized by its dramatic, undulating rim that mimics the folds of draped fabric. The piece is crafted with a complex internal patterning that resembles marbled stone or burl wood, utilizing swirling earth tones of beige, amber, and deep brown. The glass possesses a high-gloss finish with potential iridescent or carnival glass properties, as suggested by the pearlescent sheen on the interior surfaces. This organic, biomorphic shape is typical of Mid-Century Modern Italian glassmaking from the 1950s to 1970s. The construction involves a thick, heavy base tapering into thinner, expertly manipulated walls. While no specific maker’s mark is visible in the photograph, the craftsmanship suggests a high-quality glass house. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks along the delicate rim. This style is often associated with the Venini factory or Chalet Glass, representing a fusion of traditional craft and modernist aesthetic.
