"Goto" in Vetro Artistico di Murano - Italia Anni '80 - Vase - Cobalt

Splendid "Goto" in Murano Glass – Cobalt Blue, Yellow, Gold Leaf and Millefiori – Italy, 1980s This splendid object is a great classic of Murano tradition, commonly known as a "Goto da fornace" (furnace goto). The piece stands out for the typical and complex Venetian artisanal workmanship, characterized by a body of blown glass with strong color contrasts between deep cobalt blue and yellow-amber splotches, enhanced by gold leaf veneers and fine brown glass threads arranged in a lattice. At the center of the composition, the inclusion of a fascinating Millefiori Millefiori (concentric) in white, black and blue tones stands out. Each "goto" is a unique, unrepeatable work of art, completely hand-shaped by master glassmakers in Murano furnaces. These models are traditionally created "alla prima" (at first), without the use of molds. Features of the Artifact Technique and Materials: Textured surface with cobalt blue decorations, warm yellow tones, gold leaf inclusions, and a central millefiori. At the base, the characteristic concentric spiral of the break point from the pontello is clearly visible. Uniqueness: The slightly irregular and asymmetrical shape is authentic testimony to the hot manual workmanship, guaranteeing absolute uniqueness and artisanal value. Use: Historically born as a prestigious table or collectible glassware (highly sought after in multicolor sets), this artifact is today frequently used as a refined and original interior decorative vase. Technical Specifications Type: Jar / Art glass of Murano Era: 1980s Dimensions: Height: 10.5 cm Diameter: 8.5 cm Conditions The object is in excellent conservation condition. The glass is extraordinarily brilliant, colors are vivid, and there are no chips, cracks, pitting, or restorations. Time signs are minimal or entirely absent, testimony to impeccable preservation. Shipping and Packaging The lot will be packed with the utmost care and shipping will be entrusted to an international courier, with an online tracking code provided immediately after departure.
