This breathtaking, large-scale art glass vase is a genuine masterpiece of mid-century Italian craftsmanship, handmade by the renowned Formia glassworks in Murano, Italy.
Crafted using the authentic and highly coveted Alabastro (alabaster) technique, this heavy, substantial vase features a mesmerizing, milky opacity that beautifully mimics natural gemstone. The delicate pastel pink swirls and gradients bleed seamlessly into misty whites, capturing the light beautifully and giving the glass an organic, almost glowing depth.
Unlike modern imitations that use simple tinted or acid-etched glass, this genuine vintage Formia piece boasts the incredible weight, fluid lines, and unique mineral ribbons found only in true Murano artistry. No two pieces are ever identical.
With its striking size and elegant, sculptural silhouette, this vase serves as a monumental centerpiece—a timeless investment piece for serious collectors of Italian art glass and lovers of high-end decor.
