Striking pair of late 20th century Art Deco style decorative centerpiece vases, handmade in Italy and executed in beautifully blown Murano glass in a rich aquamarine / deep turquoise tone. These contemporary Venetian modernist vases are signed Cinedese and display an elegant elongated organic form, combining modern design with traditional Italian glassmaking techniques. The vases are crafted using the Barovier style rostrato technique, a highly skilled process in which the glass maestro pulls pointed projections from the hot glass using special tools, creating a dramatic three-dimensional texture on the exterior and a shimmering optical pattern within the body of the glass. This technique requires precision and speed, and the quality of the execution on this pair clearly demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship associated with Murano glass production. The sculptural surface catches and reflects light beautifully, enhancing the depth of the aquamarine color and giving the pieces a strong decorative presence. Because of their refined form and vibrant color, these vases are ideal as centerpiece decorations, console display pieces, or sculptural accents, and can complement both modern and traditional interiors. Each vase measures approximately 14 inches high and 7.5 inches in diameter (about 35.5 cm high and 19 cm diameter). Overall in great condition without any chips, cracks or repairs, with minor wear consistent with age and use.
