Vibrant Murano Tulip-Form Art Glass Vase Signed F. Silviy - 12½"

A tulip-form vase in blown and moulded art glass, this distinctive mid-century piece originates from Murano, near Venice, long known for its glassmaking tradition. The body is worked in translucent glass paste, with a softly frosted surface animated by washes of warm yellow, saffron, and coral that shift gently in the light. The base is formed in opaque glass paste in a rich bronze tone, its matte finish recalling cast metal, rising into branching supports that hold the tulip-shaped cup. The piece is signed on the base by master glassmaker F. Silviy, adding to its interest and collectability. 

The frosted surface retains its original softness, and the colours remain vivid and unfaded, with only minor signs of age such as faint scratches and light staining.

This is a piece that rewards placement in natural light, where its translucent body glows like a lantern. It would sit beautifully on a console, a library shelf, or a windowsill, bringing warmth and a touch of mid-century Italian artistry to both classical and contemporary interiors alike. A collector's piece, and a quiet celebration of the enduring genius of Venetian glass.
