DESCRIPTION

Sfumati — Murano Glass Vase

Sfumati — "the shaded ones" — are the tallest, most sculptural vases in our collection: slender columns of Murano glass rising sixty centimetres, their colour dissolving from light to dark down the length of the piece like dusk settling over the lagoon. But the colour is only half the story. Run a hand down the surface and you feel it: a skin of fine vertical striations, carved entirely by hand, that catch the light like bark, like rain on a window, like the grain of weathered wood.

Each vase is born of two Murano arts. First the sfumato, in the heat of the furnace, where one colour is dissolved into another inside the glass itself — no seam, no line, judged only by the maestro's eye. Then the cold work of the moleria, where the whole surface is incised line by line against the wheel — the technique Venetians call battuto, "beaten" — until the glass loses its shine and takes on the soft, textured warmth of something grown rather than made. Shaped without moulds by masters who have inherited seven centuries of Venetian glassmaking, no two pieces carry the same grain.

Choose from three silhouettes — a slim column, a gently waisted form, and an asymmetric flare — in three shaded tones: Topaz, warm Tobacco, and cool Steel. One alone commands a console, a hallway or an empty corner; a trio together, in mixed colours and shapes, becomes a small forest of Venetian light.

Looking for the perfect match? Explore our full collection of Murano glass vases — including Avena, which shares the same shaded sfumato — or commission a bespoke creation in your colours and dimensions. Every piece arrives with a certificate of authenticity and fully insured worldwide delivery. For any question, our team is one message away on the contact page.

Natalia OjedaSpain

A month ago I was in Venice and couldn't help noticing the incredible glass figures in every corner of the city. But I was afraid of choosing something that wasn't authentic, so I didn't feel able to buy one at the time. Days later, back home, I kept thinking about it and happened to come across this elegant, professional business. After so many days of searching and hesitating, I finally chose my piece, and I couldn't be happier. From the website, which is incredibly well designed, to unwrapping the very parcel that held my piece, it was a truly exceptional experience. The detail, the care and the love devoted to this Venetian art, and the professionalism this business offers, are seen in very few places. I don't usually write reviews, but I feel this shop has great potential to grow and deserves to be recognised all over the world.

I've recently bought an artistic glass vase; the customer service was very fast and prepared, the expedition was really fast and the item came directly at my house. The product was even better than the photos in the ad. I'm really satisfied with my experience, I highly recommend this company.
