Venetian Blown Glass Pendant with Baluster Stem

£850

A vertically composed pendant in hand-blown Venetian glass, formed from a sequence of elongated baluster elements. While later in date, the piece draws on the more structural language of earlier Venetian modernist lighting — reinterpreted here with a lighter, more fluid hand. The lower section opens into a softly ribbed, drop-shaped diffuser in a pale fumé tone. A wide, flattened glass collar sits above this, an architectural gesture that gives the piece its distinctive profile. Subtle irregularities in the glass, small air inclusions, slight asymmetry in each section speak to its hand-formed nature. When lit, the glass warms to a soft amber glow, shifting the tone of the piece entirely. Less decorative than traditional Murano lighting, this sits closer to structure and proportion, a quieter expression of Venetian glassmaking from the late 20th century. A piece that reads as much as a suspended object as it does a light. Condition Excellent vintage condition. Light wear to metal components and minor inclusions within the glass consistent with hand-blown production. No cracks or structural damage.
