II Colossi – Eight Black Leaves Vases

I Colossi is a series of Murano glass vases that form part of the ongoing Maestro collection, created in collaboration with glass artist E. Colizza.

Each piece in the series speaks the sculptural language of mid-century design, subtly informed by Art Deco geometry and proportion.

This particular vase features a bold composition of eight solid black leaves, hot-applied over a clear body enriched with 24K gold leaf, encased in the glass during the blowing process. The base is made from solid black glass, echoing the leaf motifs and anchoring the form with visual weight. The surface is finished with a delicate platinum-iridescent layer that interacts with light in shifting ways, adding luminosity and depth to the darker elements. As with all iridescent finishes, the effect is organic and unpredictable by nature.

The result is a striking sculptural object, meticulously crafted and visually rich—designed to stand as a statement piece in both Deco-inspired and mid-century interiors.

Developed through close collaboration with Maestro E. Colizza, the I Colossi series reflects a shared commitment to technical mastery and expressive design, with each piece individually signed by the artist.
