This substantial piece exemplifies the technical virtuosity and expressive design language of postwar Murano studio glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe body is hand-blown in a deep, glowing ruby red — a notoriously complex colour to achieve — with an extraordinary internal luminosity that shifts between crimson, fiery orange-red, amber, and molten gold tones as it catches the light. The thick glass walls amplify this intensity, giving the vase a powerful, almost incandescent presence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvventurina (gold dust): Fine particles of gold-infused aventurine glass embedded within the matrix, producing a shimmering constellation of metallic highlights that glisten across the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApplied Morise: Sculptural clear glass loops and tendrils applied directly to the hot body, forming organic, flowing handles that wrap and frame the vessel. These crystal elements contrast beautifully with the intense red core, creating the effect of a transparent glass “cage” containing glowing fire within.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe form is equally striking — a large, heavy, and generously proportioned vessel with an undulating, lobed rim shaped by the applied morise. The wide body rests on a solid base, giving the piece a grounded architectural presence while still maintaining fluid, molten movement in its silhouette.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAttributed to the great Murano studios most associated with this level of technical complexity, such as Barovier \u0026amp; Toso and Alfredo Barbini, this vase represents the pinnacle of mid-century Venetian glass innovation and artistry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin: Murano, Venice, Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeriod: Circa 1950s–1960s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyle: Mid-Century Modern \/ Italian Studio Glass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: Hand-blown ruby red “Rubino” glass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechniques: Bullicante (controlled air bubbles), avventurina (gold dust inclusions), applied morise crystal glass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: Approx. 28 × 22 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RC Galerie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57004928172356,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7567\/4948\/files\/20260506_120635.png?v=1784553480","url":"https:\/\/rc-galerie.com\/products\/murano-large-ruby-red-rubino-art-glass-vase-with-bullicante-avventurina-gold-dust-applied-morise-italy-c-1950s-60s","provider":"RC Galerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
