About this piece
A tall, tapered hand-blown Murano glass vase crafted using the traditional a canne (glass cane) technique, circa 1980s. The vessel features alternating vertical ribbons of white lattimo glass, lime green, and teal-blue that twist subtly toward the rim.
A design often attributed to Dino Martens for Aureliano Toso, this substantial 31.5 cm vessel works well styled empty as a modernist sculptural object or holding a generous arrangement of fresh cut stems.
About the Technique:
Originating on the Venetian island of Murano, vetro a canne (or latticino cane work) is an intricate glassblowing method in which individual rods of coloured and opaque white glass are arranged side-by-side, fused together into a single cylinder, and hand-blown into form. Because every cane is placed and stretched by hand, subtle variations in the twist and thickness of the stripes make each vessel unique.
