Additional Item Information - This impressive mid-century Murano glass pendant is a striking example of Venetian craftsmanship from the 1950s. The lantern features a textured rostrato surface in a soft, frosted finish, beautifully contrasted by a tall, intricate Murano glass rod stem. A true statement piece, it combines sculptural form with timeless elegance. Rostrato Murano glass is a traditional Murano glassmaking technique made famous by Barovier & Toso, one of the oldest and most prestigious glassmakers in Murano. It involves the meticulous hand application of pointed, spike-like elements to the glass surface, creating a bold, dimensional texture. This decorative method enhances the glass’s ability to catch and reflect light, resulting in a highly tactile and luminous finish.
