About the Item

An exceptional and unique Murano glass pumpkin, probably designed by the young Carlo Scarpa during his early collaboration with M.V.M. Cappellin Glassworks, circa 1925–1931. This rare sculptural piece exemplifies the early mastery of one of the most celebrated figures in 20th-century Italian design. Entirely hand-blown without the use of a mould, this work features lattimo glass with iridescent opalescent surface treatment, showcasing brilliant hues of turquoise, copper, and amber that shimmer under the light. The richly shaped body, with its sensual lobed curves, is crowned by a delicately twisted stem and applied leaf in golden glass—now aged to a warm patina, bearing the unmistakable character of time. With a generous size of 16 cm (6.3 in) in diameter and 31 cm (12.2 in) in height, this piece commands presence while preserving the delicacy of Venetian glass artistry. This model is likely a documented variation of the models published in the book “The M.V.M. Cappellin Glassworks and the Young Carlo Scarpa, 1925–1931” (Skira). Each pumpkin was conceived as a one-off, making this a true collector’s object from the formative years of Scarpa’s glass design journey.
