Striking Vintage Murano Hand-Blown Art Glass Centerpiece with Aventurine
A large and dramatic vintage Murano art glass centerpiece, hand-blown with shimmering aventurine inclusions. The sculptural fan-shaped rim and bold form recall the celebrated “Oriente” designs of Dino Martens for Aureliano Toso, making this an exceptional decorative statement piece.
The bowl features sweeping sections of heavy copper aventurine that glitter brilliantly in any light, giving the piece an unmistakable presence. Its impressive scale and dazzling surface decoration make it both rare and highly collectible—equally suited as a centerpiece, a display object, or as a focal point in any interior.
Beautifully substantial and weighty, this Murano glass vessel balances elegance with durability. While sturdy enough for pedestal display, it is ideal for placement on a table or countertop where its form and sparkle can be fully appreciated. This Striking Vintage Murano Hand-Blown Art Glass Centerpiece with Aventurine will enhance any setting.
Dimensions:
16" W x 14 5/8" D x 12 3/4" H
The free-form ruffled rim and twisted applied trail on the body suggest Murano sommerso or “organic form” work from the 1960s–1980s, often created by master glassmakers like Flavio Poli (Seguso Vetri d’Arte) or Alfredo Barbini.
The base with encased bubbles and mottled purple flecks also aligns with Murano studio experimentation from that era.

Domestic shipping
Every piece ships from our warehouse in Miami. Shipping is quoted per order, so you are never charged an estimate — we price the actual crate, the actual route, and the actual service level, and send it to you before you commit.
Small and medium decorative objects — lamps, vases, prints, ceramics — travel by FedEx or UPS Ground, fully insured, signature required. Typical transit is 3–7 business days.
Furniture and large pieces travel by white-glove freight with BMC International Freight. Delivery is room of choice, subject to the carrier's access at your address. Freight transit varies by destination and is typically 7–14 business days. We contact you to arrange a delivery window.
International shipping
We ship worldwide, quoted case by case. Tell us the piece and the destination and we will price crating, freight, insurance and customs handling for you.
Packing
Every piece is packed by hand using museum-quality materials. Fragile items are double-boxed with custom foam inserts. Glass and detachable elements are removed and packed separately, then reassembled on arrival.
Returns
Returns are accepted within one day of delivery. To return a piece, notify us within that window and return it in the same condition in which it arrived.
The buyer pays all shipping costs — outbound and return — and a 15% restocking fee.
This mirrors the terms you already know from the major marketplaces. Because the window is short, we would rather you ask first: request additional photographs, measurements or a condition report before you buy, and we will send them the same day.
If something arrives damaged
