Murano Glass Sculpture Bowl by Carlo Nason for Mazzega

Murano Glass Sculpture Bowl by Carlo Nason for Mazzega, 1970s – Clear Glass

A remarkable Murano glass sculpture bowl designed by Carlo Nason for Mazzega in the 1970s. Born in Murano in 1935 into a family of master glassmakers, Nason became known for his experimental and sculptural approach to glass design.

This large, cubic centerpiece features a smooth, rounded depression on the top surface — functional yet distinctly sculptural. Crafted in clear Murano glass, it is traversed by a white glass stripe running through the piece, producing an elegant interplay of transparency and light. The result is a luminous and architectural object that embodies the refinement and innovation of 1970s Murano production.

Carlo Nason, son of Vincenzo Nason of the renowned NasonMoretti and later V. Nason & C., began designing his first glass pieces in 1959 — some of which are now held in the Corning Museum of Glass in New York. His work for Mazzega represents the perfect synthesis of craftsmanship, geometry, and artistic expression, making each piece a timeless collectible.
