Description

A striking Murano art glass magazine or book stand attributed to Mazzega (MVR), executed in a fluid, sculptural form characteristic of mid-century Italian glass design. The piece is formed from a single sheet of thick, clear glass, organically folded into a dynamic double-sided configuration, allowing for display or storage on either side.

Both functional and highly decorative, the stand exemplifies the fusion of utility and artistic expression central to Murano glass production in the mid-20th century.
