Vtg 1960s Murano Art Glass Tree Sculpture 10 For serious Collectors

Vintage Murano Style Art Glass Tree 10 Green Confetti Frit Hollow MCM Italy 1960s. Overview :Up for sale is a stunning 10-inch vintage Murano art glass sculpture, masterfully crafted in the stylized form of a tree or Calla lily. This piece is a quintessential example of the "Macchia" (spotted) or "Confetti" technique popular in the 1960s, attributed to the esteemed Murano furnace Vetreria Artistica Obball (or similar boutique furnaces like AVeM). Design & Technique: The sculpture features a vibrant "sunset" palette of hand-rolled red, orange, and yellow glass frit (crushed glass) at the base. As the piece was blown and stretched, these colors elongated into beautiful, flame-like streaks that transition into a slender, emerald-green "swung" neck.

Hollow-Blown "Chimney" Design: Unlike mass-produced solid pieces, this is hollow from the base to the tip. This allows light to travel internally, creating a glowing effect when placed near a window or lamp. Hand-Crimped Base: The ruffled edge was hand-pinched while the glass was molten.

As a result, the base has an organic, undulating profile. Please note: This results in a slight "wobble" common in hand-worked Italian glass of this era, which is a verified sign of artisan creation rather than machine molding.

Finished Tip: The top of the tree is expertly fire-polished and sealed with a smooth, rounded edge. Color: Polychrome (Red, Orange, Yellow, Emerald Green). Features: Hollow-blown, Hand-crimped base, Fire-polished tip. This is an exceptional example of 1960s decorative art glass, featuring a vibrant aesthetic often associated with the export-quality work of Murano, Italy.
