Dino Martens Vase - Millefiori Murine Style Of Italian Modern Murano Glass
Vintage Murano glass vase was made in flask shape with graphic abstract patterns on both back and front sizes of the vase. The solid red glass gather was decorated with fused multicolored millefiori and murine inserts that were accentuated with light blue and white glass swirls and patterns on the sides and around the rim of the vase. The colored gather was encased in clear glass in sommerso technique, adding depth and visual complexity to the piece. Deep, intense red background color helps to balance complex, multicolor design of the fused glass. The vase is done in the style of Dino Martens; however, it is not signed, making a proper attribution difficult.
