This art glass piece is a striking example of mid-century European glass artistry. Handblown in deep cobalt blue with an iridescent gradient that transitions to smoky grey and amber tones, this piece radiates quiet sophistication. Around the bulbous base, a ring of applied glass prunts—each with a metallic golden luster—adds textural contrast and reflects light beautifully. The elegant swan-neck spout and delicate pulled handle showcase the mastery of the glassmaker’s hand, balancing sculptural form with graceful function.
This piece embodies the organic fluidity and tactile experimentation of postwar art glass design, making it an exquisite addition for collectors of Murano-inspired or Scandinavian studio glass aesthetics.
