Italian Murano Glass Ball Table Lamp, 1940s - 2 Available
An Italian Murano glass table lamp from the 1940s, reflecting its surroundings and revealing new patterns as daylight changes throughout the day.
The lamp is defined by its rounded glass body, substantial in volume yet softened by the presence of hundreds of suspended air bubbles. Produced using the bullicante technique—a demanding Murano process in which controlled bubbles are trapped within thick layers of molten glass—the surface becomes animated from every angle.
The effect is both visual and atmospheric. Light moves through the glass unevenly, catching the bubbles and creating a subtle shimmer within the body itself. The glass feels less like a solid object and more like a captured moment, suspended between liquid and air.
Above, a pierced metal collar introduces a contrasting materiality. Its crown-like silhouette provides a structured transition between the organic quality of the glass and the clean geometry of the shade, grounding the composition while preserving its sense of lightness.
