Murano Glass Centerpiece by Carlo Nason for Vetrerie Nason, Italy, 1979

Striking and highly sculptural Murano glass centerpiece designed by Carlo Nason for Vetrerie Vincenzo Nason in 1979.

This refined piece is characterized by its wide, shallow circular form and thick crystal-clear glass, beautifully worked to create a dynamic, almost liquid surface. The interior features an intricate pattern of organic, faceted reliefs that capture and refract light in a remarkable way—evoking the movement of water or crystalline formations.

As visible in the photos, the textured base creates a vibrant interplay of reflections and distortions: light is fragmented across the surface, generating depth, brilliance, and constantly shifting visual effects depending on the viewing angle.

The clean, polished rim contrasts elegantly with the expressive interior, highlighting the balance between controlled design and spontaneous-looking texture—an approach typical of Nason’s work during this period.

Original “Nason & C. Murano Italy” label present.
