About the Item

A monumental and sculptural Murano glass vase by Diego Bardella, distinguished by its exceptionally thick walls and fluid spiral form. The rounded body is animated by sweeping internal ribbons of clear glass infused with rich gold aventurine, creating a luminous depth and subtle movement as light passes through the surface. #5131 The vase’s substantial weight (25 pounds) and refined polish exemplify the high level of technical mastery associated with Murano’s late 20th-century studio production. Signed “D. Bardella Murano” along the underside rim, confirming authorship and origin. Both decorative and architectural in presence, this work functions equally well as a standalone sculptural object or as a vessel. Two examples available — ideal for collectors, designers, or large-scale interiors seeking symmetry or a paired installation. Details: Artist: Diego Bardella Origin: Murano, Italy Date: circa 1980s Material: Hand-blown Murano glass with gold aventurine inclusions Signature: Etched “D. Bardella Murano” Dimensions: 13” W × 6” D × 14” H Weight: 25 pounds Condition: Excellent vintage condition; minor inherent studio variations consistent with hand-blown glass Quantity: 2 available Classification: Sculptural vessel / art glass object About the Artist Diego Bardella is recognized for his expressive Murano glass works that emphasize mass, movement, and internal structure. Working within Murano’s post-war tradition, Bardella explored thick-walled forms, swirling inclusions, and aventurine techniques that reference classical Venetian glassmaking while asserting a distinctly modern, sculptural language. His works are sought after for their physical presence, technical sophistication, and strong decorative impact.
