Three mid-century hand-blown Murano glass vases, each with an elegant organic silhouette and crafted using the Venetian mezza filigrana (half-filigree) technique. Thin white lattimo and black glass canes are embedded within clear glass, forming refined pinstripe and lattice motifs characteristic of high-quality Murano work.

The 10-inch vase on the left, designed by Dino Martens for Aureliano Toso, features an oval body that tapers into a slender neck with a gently flared lip. Its filigrana pattern presents vertical white ribbon stripes on one side, contrasted by black canes on the other, all set against a transparent glass ground that highlights the precision of the cane work.

The central vase, the tallest at 16 inches, has an elongated hourglass profile with a pronounced high waist. Its surface displays a cross-hatched white filigree pattern suspended within clear glass, giving the piece a light, architectural presence.

The 10-inch vase on the right has a rounded, onion-shaped body that swells at the center before narrowing into a thick cylindrical neck. Its tight diagonal swirl of white canes echoes the patterning of the taller vase, creating a cohesive visual relationship within the group.

Together, these three vases form a striking mid-century Murano ensemble, unified by technique yet individually expressive in form and pattern.
