The OverviewBring a beautiful sense of peace and centuries of Italian tradition into your home with this authentic, hand-blown Murano glass set. Featured is a highly iconic, stunning depiction of the Virgin Mary displayed alongside an exceptionally rare design variant of the famous "Fishtail" vase. Each spiritual icon and sculptural vessel is meticulously shaped entirely by hand in Venice, Italy, using traditional Renaissance techniques without the use of mechanical molds—making each sacred piece completely unique.
The Sommerso Technique & Color InterplayThese pieces utilize the legendary Sommerso ("submerged") technique, a method developed in the 1930s by masters like Carlo Scarpa and famously popularized by Flavio Poli at Seguso Vetri d'Arte. Master glassmakers layer distinct batches of colored glass, fusing them flawlessly together without ever mixing the colors. This set highlights a rare and highly sought-after color combination: a vibrant, deep forest green encased inside a rich, honey-dripping amber, all safely wrapped in a thick, optical-quality clear glass shell.
Rare Quadruple-Fin DesignThe vase in this set is a spectacular, rare design variant featuring a quadruple pulled-wing base. Unlike standard two-fin mid-century pieces, this masterwork utilizes four hand-sculpted outer fins to create a highly dynamic, sculptural silhouette that catches and bends light from all angles.
The UV Factor (Uranium Glass Glow)Both the Virgin Mary figurine and the four-wing vase feature a highly reactive core infused with historic uranium oxide. Under normal daylight, they show a rich, sophisticated green and amber color interplay. However, the moment they are placed under a UV blacklight, the green cores instantly ignite into a brilliant, fiery neon green glow. This is a spectacular, verified uranium glass set highly coveted by mid-century art glass collectors.
