Offered by: Lobel Modern, Inc.

Description
Large and rare "Bandiere" vase, hand-blown with orange, yellow, blue, white, green and clear colors all around with hole in the center by Anzolo Fuga for Arte Vetraria Muranese (A.V.E.M.), Murano Italy, 1955-58. Bandiere in Italian means flag. This refers to the way the glass rods laid out flat in a tray before this piece was blown. The scale and vibrancy of this vase give it an impactful visual presence. The execution is superb.
