Large Murano Filigrana Art Glass Floor Vase

This is a substantial hand-blown Murano art glass vase, standing approximately 24 inches in height. It features a klassischen amphora-inspired silhouette with a weighted, tapered base leading to a rounded shoulder and a flared, wide-mouth rim. The primary color is a vibrant, translucent coral-orange, achieving its visual texture through a sophisticated 'filigrana' technique where parallel glass canes are pulled into thin, vertical stripes throughout the body of the piece. Unlike ribbed glass which has physical indentations, this piece has a smooth exterior surface with internal linear patterns. The interior appears to be cased in a layer of milky white (lattimo) glass, providing a bright backdrop that makes the exterior color pop. The craftsmanship is indicative of Mid-Century Modern Italian glassworks from the 1960s or 1970s. While no specific maker’s mark is visible in the image, the scale and uniform distribution of the striping suggest a high-quality kiln manufacture. The condition appears stable with no major chips or cracks visible, though common light surface scratches on the base and minor internal bubbles (seeds) consistent with the hand-blowing process are likely present. The polished rim shows a refined finish characteristic of master glassblowers.
