Item Description
A rare and sculptural piece of Italian glass artistry, this extra large “Chiclos” vase was designed by Renato Toso for Leucos in the 1970s. A striking example of postmodern Murano glass design, the vase stands out with its bold scale, rich coloration, and fluid organic form. Hand-blown in Murano, the “Chiclos” vase features a translucent glass body with dramatic curves and a subtly architectural profile. Its oversized proportions make it as much a sculptural object as a vessel—ideal as a standalone centerpiece or part of a curated collection of mid-century and Italian decorative arts. Renato Toso, a pioneering figure in Italian design, brought a distinct vision to Leucos during this era, merging traditional Venetian craftsmanship with avant-garde design principles. This piece exemplifies that fusion with elegance and power.
