About the Item

**Murano Glass Vase by Sergio Costantini, Picasso-Inspired, circa 1990s** A sculptural and highly expressive Murano glass vase by **Sergio Costantini**, dating from approximately the **1990s**, inspired by the visual language of **Picasso** and designed to resemble an abstract head. This fascinating piece combines the rich tradition of Murano glassmaking with a highly figurative and decorative artistic sensibility, transforming the vase into an object of striking visual impact. The body of the vase, in a warm, translucent amber hue, is brought to life by a stylized composition depicting a human face, with asymmetrical eyes, a prominent nose, and red lips. The upper section is adorned with spectacular applied glass relief work, forming a fluid and vibrant mass of hair in shades of black, blue, red, and green, lending the piece energy, rhythm, and movement. The base, also adorned with vibrantly colored glass inlays, adds a sculptural touch to the composition, further emphasizing the piece’s theatrical and artistic character. The entire vase demonstrates great technical skill in glassmaking, where transparency, color, and the depth of the material come together in a harmonious and original way. This object is not merely a vase, but a true glass sculpture, ideal as a focal point on a console table, sideboard, bookshelf, or within a curated collection of art glass. Its presence is sophisticated, playful, and cultured, making it perfect for contemporary, eclectic interiors or for collectors who appreciate objects with a strong personality. A fascinating example of Murano art glass, circa the 1950s, signed **Sergio Costantini**, which evokes the aesthetics of Cubist portraiture in a luminous, decorative form full of character.
