VINTAGE MID-CENTURY MURANO "SCAVO" ART GLASS EWER / PITCHER
An authentic mid-century Italian Murano art glass ewer/pitcher crafted in the style of Gino Cenedese and Alfredo Barbini.
Blown from vibrant turquoise/cerulean blue glass, this piece features the renowned Italian "Scavo" (excavated) technique. While molten, mineral salts and ash were fused to the glass surface to recreate the crusty, matte, iridescent patina of 2,000-year-old Roman vessels unearthed from archaeological digs. The blue core illuminates with rich translucency when displayed in natural light.
Designed with a classical trumpet-flared rim, bulbous body, applied loop handle, and a polished circular pontil ground into the base.
