Details

This unusual and stunning Mid Century Modern Murano vase was realized by the esteemed designer Carlo Scarpa for Venini in Italy circa 1960. It features a highly textural volumetric ellipsoid form with a channeled organic exterior surface imbued with 24kt yellow gold flecks lending it a semi opaque quality. Occupying an interesting interstice between transparency and opacity, the glass resembles frozen water. Beautifully (and obviously) crafted by hand by one of the great designers of the period, this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of first rate Murano glass objects and fine Mid Century design, in general. Its monochromatic palate and austere silhouette make this piece as versatile as it is aesthetically appealing, blending perfectly with any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. It is in excellent vintage condition.

    A long time ago, my thrifting journey kicked off when my aunt passed away, leaving behind her house and all its contents to us. Tasked with selling off the items the family didn't want to keep, I found myself diving headfirst into the world of discovering new and intriguing things. I was truly astounded by the variety of items that people were interested in buying from us!

    Now, my husband and I have turned this passion into a shared hobby, traveling far and wide to attend auctions, sift through thrift stores, explore estate sales, and scour garage sales. Each item we come across becomes an opportunity for me to delve into research and learn something new. For us, it's not just about making a sale, but about the joy of acquiring knowledge.

    Interacting with customers is a highlight of our thrifting adventure. We take great care in packaging each item, sending it off with well wishes for a safe journey to its new home. Our hope is that whoever receives our packages will come to love the items as much as we do.
