Glass Crystal Vase ‘San Marco’ by Alessandro Mandruzzato

The San Marco range presents a glass crystal vase of geometric proportions! Alessandro follows the family tradition of clear-cut lines and shapes. A solid, clear base holds an angular vase where precise contours sit around the vase.

The result is a diamond pattern. Creating this unique, modern vase in colours that complement the design.

Perfect geometry and a decadent addition to your interior decor.

Glass crystal vases such as the San Marco will attract many admiring eyes.

Please note the variation between the vases:
The Green San Marco vase has one panel of engraving, to give depth and intrigue.
The Grey San Marco vase has smooth glossy sides. To give a reflective glow.

N.B. The images shown are an example of the ones in the series. Each piece is handmade and therefore there will be small variations in colour, shape and pattern. Each one is completely unique and signed by the artist.

Glass Crystal Vase Artist

Alessandro Mandruzzato artist is the latest Mandruzzato family to work in glass. The family have developed their own particular style over four generations.  Founded by Benjamin Mandruzzato in 1934, the knowledge, skills and expertise have been handed down to the present day. Alessandro is the fourth generation to head up the Mandruzzato family factory on Murano.

Gianfranco, Alessandro’s father worked on projects with some of the Arts greatest, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Max Ernst. Such experiences, equipped Gianfranco to create geometric designs that were unique at that time.

Destined by his own love of glass and family tradition, Alessandro was determined to learn every skill and technique and attended many workshops. In 2000, when his training was complete, he set out as an independent sculptor.  Mixing other mediums with Murano glass he looked to create a contemporary flare.

Over four generations the Mandruzzato family have created a particular style unique to them. The cold craving of Murano crystal is a special technique consisting of 12 steps, involving cutting with manual machinery such as diamond wheels. This process is reaped over and over till the desired shape is achieved.  Each piece will have been worked on over 26 hours resulting in, no two pieces being the same.

A testament to his work, household names, such as Armani, Fendi, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf & Goodman, Harrod’s, Nissan Motors, and Ajmal Dubai Perfums have all commissioned pieces.
