A bold and sophisticated Murano glass vase by Licio Zanetti, showcasing the studio’s signature mastery of colour, movement, and layered technique. The form is defined by sweeping, diagonal ribbons of deep burgundy glass that spiral through a clear ground, creating a sense of dynamic motion.
Encased within the glass are fine silver foil inclusions, adding a shimmering, textured backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the rich, translucent red tones. The surface reveals subtle striations and controlled bubbles, enhancing the depth and complexity of the piece.
The gently flared, slightly asymmetrical rim gives the vase a contemporary sculptural presence, while the weight and clarity of the glass reflect the high quality associated with Zanetti’s Murano production.
