Seguso Hand Blown Murano Style Art Glass Vase

Many colorful art glass vases either feel uncomfortably delicate or rely on flat surface pigments that turn dull outside of direct sunlight. I look for glass where the color possesses genuine physical depth, holding its character whether the room is flooded with morning sun or lit by a single evening lamp.

Among the many interpretations of Murano cane work, I chose this piece for the discipline of its composition. Instead of a chaotic swirl, vertical canes of teal, warm yellow, deep red, and woven white filigree follow the natural curve of the ovoid silhouette. What set it apart was the balance between that vivid core and the substantial, clear glass base, which grounds the colors without letting them overpower the form.

Hand-shaped by Ca d'Oro Glass Studio using techniques brought from Murano by the Seguso family, the vase measures 7.1 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide. Intensely colored glass canes are fused directly into the molten gather during the blowing process, creating a smooth exterior surface with distinct internal striping on every individual piece.

Place this on an oiled walnut console, a pale travertine side table, or a deep windowsill where backlighting can illuminate the intricate white cane work. It is not designed for heavy, spreading floral arrangements, as the modest opening and compact footprint are meant for single stems or standalone display. A good fit for anyone looking to introduce deliberate, saturated color into a calm interior without committing to oversized sculpture.
