This vase is a striking 1980s Modernist piece by Cleto Munari, an Italian designer celebrated for his innovative work in silver and glass. The vase is crafted from deep cobalt blue Murano glass, known for its vibrant hue and clarity. The glass is decorated with a delicate sterling silver overlay in a repeated, symmetrical pattern resembling stylized petal motifs. This silver detailing adds elegance and structure, contrasting beautifully with the rich blue glass. The vase has a cylindrical form, tapering slightly as it rises from the base, which is also silver, anchoring the piece and providing a sense of refinement. Munari's work often combines modernist simplicity with luxurious materials, and this piece exemplifies his ability to blend Italian craft tradition with bold, contemporary design. The vase is all marked and in perfect condition.
