Description

A sculptural Murano glass door handle attributed to Mazzega, featuring a thick, curved form in clear glass accented by a horizontal band of gold inclusion. The handle is formed from a substantial sheet of glass, bent into a flowing, ergonomic shape, with a textured surface that captures and diffuses light.

The embedded gold band provides a refined decorative element, contrasting with the otherwise minimal, architectural form.

Catalogue Note
Mazzega was a key producer of modern Murano glass, particularly known for lighting and architectural elements that combined functionality with sculptural form. During the mid-to-late 20th century, Murano makers increasingly explored glass within interior architecture, producing handles, panels, and fixtures that emphasized material presence and craftsmanship.
