Iridescent Murano Glass Vessel with Patinated Bronze Medusa Medallion

A 1960s Italian Murano glass vessel with a wide mouth, an iridescent scavo finish, and a bronze Medusa medallion bearing a verdigris patina. It has a tall cylindrical body which meets a flared rim which is accented by a bronze band. The scavo technique evokes the weathered surface of ancient Roman excavated glass, complementing the classical Greco-Roman detailing of the Medusa emblem. Substantial in weight and scale, the vessel accommodates both delicate tall stems and generous floral arrangements. Imported by Sarreid Ltd., a company known for bringing decorative objects from Spain and Italy to the United States throughout the late 20th century, it retains a “Made in Italy” label on the underside.
