Lumini's Vases and Vessels Collection: Celebrating Italian Craftsmanship

The Vase & Vessels section at Lumini Collections celebrates Italian heritage, mid-century design and sculptural form, offering handpicked vases and vessels that instantly elevate any interior. 

From Murano glass to hand-painted ceramics, each piece is selected for its character, colour and texture, creating focal points that feel both timeless and contemporary in curated homes and design projects. 

Perfect for interior designers, stylists and design-conscious homeowners, these vases and vessels are more than décor; they are collectible artworks that tell a European design story in every room, shipped worldwide from Byron Bay.

Italian heritage and story

Lumini Collections draws on more than 25 years of sourcing vintage and designer pieces across Europe, with a particular focus on Italian craft and mid-century modern design. 

The Vase & Vessels edit reflects this history, featuring hand-painted ceramic vases from 1960s Italy and Murano glass works created with techniques such as Sommerso layering.

Each object is chosen for its sculptural profile and provenance, whether it is a multicoloured ceramic piece with tactile glazing or a thick-walled Murano glass vase that plays with light and colour. 

This careful curation ensures every vase can stand alone as an artwork or sit comfortably within a broader collection of European furniture, lighting and art from the Lumini showroom.

Sculptural pieces for modern spaces

The collection includes everything from bold, hand-painted ceramics to refined, clear and coloured glass forms that work beautifully in minimal, coastal or layered interiors. 

Styled on consoles, dining tables, bedside tables or bookshelves, these vases add height, rhythm and material contrast, whether holding a single stem or standing empty as a sculptural statement.

Design lovers can create vignettes by pairing different heights and materials, mixing matte ceramic finishes with luminous Murano glass to bring depth and movement to any corner. 

Because many pieces are vintage or limited, each arrangement feels personal and impossible to replicate, ideal for clients seeking individuality.
