Carlo Moretti Opaline Glass Vase - 1970s

This elegant opaline glass vase by Carlo Moretti reflects the refined craftsmanship for which the Murano glassmaker became renowned during the 1970s. Its gently tapered silhouette is animated by flowing white canes that spiral across a deep black ground, creating a striking sense of movement and optical depth. Handcrafted using traditional Murano techniques, the vase perfectly balances graphic contrast with soft, organic curves. The glossy surface enhances the dialogue between the opaque white decoration and the rich black glass, allowing the piece to transform beautifully as it catches the light from different angles. Whether displayed as a sculptural object or used for floral arrangements, the vase embodies the sophisticated Italian design language of the period. Its bold monochrome palette, timeless proportions and exceptional craftsmanship make it a distinctive decorative piece and a fine example of Carlo Moretti's enduring contribution to contemporary Murano glass. 22cm high, 8cm diameter
