Murano Starburst Centerpiece — a radiant showcase of mid-century Italian glass design, defined by fluid form and shimmering light play. With sweeping, flame-like arms and an opalescent glow, this centerpiece captures the expressive energy of the Murano aesthetic at its peak.
These dramatic sculptural forms became popular in the 1950s–60s as Murano glassmakers embraced freer, organic shapes that emphasized technical mastery and modern taste. Often displayed as table centerpieces or on sideboards, they signaled both style and craftsmanship.
The clarity and sparkle of this piece, combined with its pulled spikes and balanced symmetry, demonstrate the artisans’ keen understanding of both form and visual rhythm
