Description

An elegant Murano glass vase attributed to Seguso Vetri d’Arte, featuring a softly rounded, bulbous body rising to a gently tapering neck. The vessel is executed in translucent glass densely infused with fine silver foil inclusions, creating a luminous, shimmering surface that interacts beautifully with light.

The subtle gradation of form, combined with the dispersed metallic inclusions, gives the piece a refined and atmospheric quality.
