Murano Vase — Mondrian Composition
A distinctive Murano vase featuring a composition of white and black occhi murrine, zanfirico cane, and avventurina filigree. The arrangement recalls a Mondrian-like structure, where red, grey, white, and black interact in a balanced geometric scheme.
Transparent grey sections introduce depth, allowing patterns to cross and shift with the light. The design avoids strict symmetry, so no element aligns exactly with its counterpart — a subtle decision that enhances the sense of movement.
Its origin remains uncertain. No close parallels have been identified among works by Fratelli Toso, Pavanello, or other murrina specialists known for similar techniques.
