Item Description
Identification & Design
This is a monumental 18-inch hand-blown art glass vase in the Murano style, crafted with bold vertical striping in orange, red, yellow, white, blue, and green. Its dramatic triple-gourd silhouette and flowing cane-striping create an immediate focal point, equally a vessel and a sculptural décor object.

The vibrant multicolor ribbons of glass were achieved using the cane technique, where colored rods are stretched and fused to form a continuous striped effect across the entire surface. At this size, the craftsmanship demonstrates significant control and artistry, since maintaining uniformity of striping over such a tall form is technically demanding.

Monumental Height (18"): Larger than most Murano-style striped vases (commonly 10–14"), adding to attribution and style. This scale is ideal for use as a statement object on credenzas, console tables, or as a floor-standing accent. It commands attention when walking into the room with it.

Color Spectrum: The fiery orange and red palette is interwoven with cooler blue and green lines, allowing it to harmonize with both warm neutral interiors (wood, brass, stone) and eclectic maximalist settings.
Sculptural Impact: The tiered gourd form creates dramatic shadows and rhythm, making the vase sculptural enough to stand alone without floral inserts.
Versatile Styling: Works seamlessly across mid-century modern, retro chic, eclectic, Hollywood Regency, and bold contemporary interiors.

Condition
Excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Glossy polished surface, clean interior, and vibrant coloration throughout.

Dimensions (approximate)
Height: ~18 inches

Width (base): ~5 inches

Historical Context
Striped art glass vases rose to popularity in the 1960s–1970s Murano revival, when Venetian glassmakers embraced bright, playful palettes influenced by Pop Art. Taller and more sculptural examples like this are less common and highly sought after for their dramatic scale.
