The Cleo Wave Globe Vase combines traditional craftsmanship with its hand-blown Murano glass construction, drawing the green colouration through the glass rather than applying it to the surface. Its globe form reflects centuries of refined glassmaking technique, with each piece carrying natural variations inherent to the hand-blown process. The rich green tone runs throughout the material, giving depth and consistency to the finish. Standing at 28cm, the vase offers a substantial presence with a smooth glass surface that interacts with surrounding light.
In 1291, Venice moved its glassmakers to the island of Murano and made them an offer with no exit: noble privileges, freedom from prosecution — and confinement. Their techniques were too valuable to let travel. For centuries, a Murano glassmaker who left the island risked death. The knowledge stayed, deepened, and became the lineage that produces this piece: hand-blown, globe-formed, the green drawn through the glass rather than applied to it. At 28cm, it is a great addition to any collection.
