Archimede Seguso Murano Amber Bullicante Vase, 1950s

Product Description
£145.00
Maximum quantity available reached.

A beautifully proportioned Murano amber glass vase attributed to Archimede Seguso, dating from the 1950s.

The softly flared form is decorated with controlled bubble (bullicante) decoration — a technique closely associated with mid-century Murano glassmaking — giving the piece a light, almost effervescent quality when illuminated.

I particularly like the warmth of the amber tone and the simplicity of the silhouette, which allows the craftsmanship to speak for itself.

Very good vintage condition with age-related wear and light scratching to the base consistent with age and use. No chips or cracks

Approximate Size : Diameter 15 cm    Height 15.5cm

Collector’s Note

Bullicante — also known as controlled bubble or bolle glass — became one of the defining techniques of mid-century Murano glassmaking during the 1950s.

The effect is created by rolling molten glass across a metal surface embedded with spikes, forming tiny impressions that are then sealed beneath a second layer of glass, trapping pockets of air within the surface. The result is the softly effervescent appearance that became closely associated with Venetian art glass of the period.
