LARGE Mid-Century Murano Glass Decanter | Carafe 'a Canne Verticale'

Sorry, this item has sold.

This sublime (and LARGE) Italian glass decanter | carafe | pitcher 'a canne verticale', with alternating vertical canes of yellow, white and clear glass has been widely attributed to Gio Ponti for Venini C.1946 thanks to Leslie Pina's attribution in Circa Fifties Glass, page 54. However, it is not signed, nor have the others in this design I've come across, and Venini's work was almost always signed. Alternatively, I've seen this beauty attributed to Fratelli Toso and even Empoli-based companies such as Guildcraft. Frankly--it doesn't matter--this is a BEAUTY and its Murano-level of craftmanship is indisputable! While a practical carafe form, this piece is so classically beautiful, it makes a great vase and is of course a perfect sculpture in itself. This is a strikingly beautiful clean piece that has managed to make it through the past seven decades barely touched by time. (Of course, expect some minor base wear, a possible scuff or two, though I've not been able to find even this.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom and personalized orders

GLASSpheme loves custom orders! But how do we 'customize' vintage glass? Simple. We love glass and we love our customers--and there are many ways we can help!

1) Volume discounts: Let's say there are several pieces you MUST have. Let me know, and I'll send you our very best price for the lot.

2) Custom displays: Say you have a special place in your home that SCREAMS for a glass display. Send me a photo of the space, your budget, and the accent colors for your room, and we'll send you photographs of possible groupings and our special pricing for the lot.

3) Tell us what groupings you have in mind, and we'll photograph them together for you so you can see how they'll look together.

Gift wrapping and packaging

What could be better than giving a gorgeous piece of vintage glass as a gift? (Aside from getting one, that is.) Glass is beautiful and functional--mostly! Consider a super mod biomorphic bowl or cased glass jar for a vanity or dresser, a platter/centerpiece for fruit on a countertop, or a vase for cut flowers. Not only does vintage glass bring exquisite delight to the most mundane of household functions (you should see our soap dishes), but our beauties increase in value over time. Send us a note telling us your purchase is a gift, and we will send it along with your personalized gift card, colorful tissue paper and a bow. (You alone will receive the receipt by email.)

Can I Select Custom Arrival Dates?

GLASSpheme ships your purchase on the very next business day, but we're flexible too! If you're going away on vacation or have a special date you'd like your gift to arrive, send us a note, and we'll time our shipping for you!

How can I get coupons for your shop and be informed of sales?

Simple! Join the GLASSpheme mailing list! Paste this link in your browser, send us your email address, and VOILA--you'll be among the first to know when your favorite piece of glass is on sale, or when we're offering coupons.
