Italian Murano Glass Fluted Goblet Chalice, Green, 1960s
Located in Villaverla, IT
Italian Murano glass ceremonial goblet calice presentation vessel crafted during the nineteen sixties showcases graceful Venetian Neoclassical revival design. Handcrafted in Italy, this statuesque standing goblet rises from an expansive, circular pedestal foot into an architectural baluster stem accented with a subtle ring collar knop. Supporting the upper composition, the stem elevates an elongated, bell-form chalice cup that swells from a tapered base before expanding gracefully into a wide, fire-polished everted rim. Master artisans mouth-blew and hand-tooled the vessel at the furnace using traditional Venetian mold-blowing techniques (a costolature / rigadin). The entire piece is executed in high-clarity emerald-green crystal (verde smeraldo), featuring rhythmic vertical fluting that ripples up the body of the cup to channel and bend incoming light. When exposed to natural daylight or focused gallery illumination, the ribbed translucent walls project luminous sea-green refractions, emerald halos, and subtle vertical shadows across display surfaces, highlighting the purity of the monochrome form. Elevate any luxury dining room tablescape, architectural fireplace mantel garniture, console vignette, or vintage sixties Italian fine art glass stemware collection with this authentic Murano goblet chalice...
