Description
A work that transcends its function as a vase to become a historical testament to Venetian design. This piece, designed by the genius Umberto Bellotto , represents the perfect application of the "Connubi" technique in iron and glass , patented by the artist in 1910 together with the architect Cesare Aurienti.
Dating back to the 1930s , the vase embodies the bold dialogue between the ethereal fragility of Murano glass —here in a vibrant blue hue—and the earthy strength of wrought iron. The grape vine decoration envelops the glass body not like a cage, but like an organic embrace, maintaining the Art Nouveau sensibility that made the master famous. Born from the synergy with historic furnaces (likely Barovier & Toso ), this object combines technical innovation with age-old tradition.
An intact collector's piece, ideal for those seeking authentic Venetian excellence. Perfect as a unique piece to display in a brightly lit niche or as the undisputed centerpiece of a room, where the blue glass can express its full sculptural depth .
