Murrine Romane Vase by Carlo Scarpa for Venini

Italian Murano Glass Mid-Century Inspired Art Vase

A striking example of Carlo Scarpa’s masterful glass design, the Murrine Romane vase is one of Venini’s most celebrated expressions of Venetian glass artistry. Its intricate pattern of jewel-toned murrine—rich reds, deep yellows, and dark contrasting outlines—creates a rhythmic geometric surface reminiscent of ancient Roman mosaic work.

Historic Murano technique reinterpreted by Scarpa
Designed during Scarpa’s influential collaboration with Venini, the Murrine Romane series reflects his fascination with classical Italian craft. Each vase is formed through a complex process of cutting, arranging, and fusing murrine canes, resulting in unique chromatic depth and a richly textured surface. The vibrant interplay of colour, light, and transparency is a hallmark of Scarpa’s most sought-after glasswork.

A collectible centrepiece for refined interiors
With its sculptural form and hypnotic patterning, the vase serves beautifully as a centrepiece, collector’s display object, or art glass focal point. Produced by Venini in contemporary editions, it continues to embody the legacy of one of Italy’s most important designers.
