Clear Glass Vase Murano Rostrato Style | NODE by La Fae

Murano style glass vases draw inspiration from centuries of glassmaking tradition on Venice's Murano island. These blown glass vases feature those distinctive textures—like the Rostrato (pointed) finish—that create the most stunning light refraction. While authentic Murano glass is crafted in Italy, our Node collection honours this artistic tradition with the same attention to detail and expert craftsmanship. It's that perfect blend of heritage technique and contemporary artistry.

Authentic Murano glass vases are handcrafted on the island of Murano in Venice, and vintage pieces can run anywhere from $1000 to $5000+. Our Node collection captures the aesthetic and artisan techniques of Italian Murano glass vases at a more accessible price point. While not made in Murano Italy, our blown glass vases honour the same Venetian glass traditions, Rostrato styling, and hand-blown craftsmanship that made Murano glassware legendary. You get that timeless Italian artistry without the vintage price tag.

The Node is a contemporary piece inspired by vintage glass vases and antique glassware from the mid-century modern era. It captures the aesthetic of those collectible Venetian Murano glass vases from the 1960s-70s but is newly crafted with modern quality standards. Basically, you get all the timeless appeal of vintage glass vases without the fragility or high prices of true antique glass vases. Best of both worlds.

Keep it simple—hand wash your Venetian Murano glass vase using lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry gently with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid water spots. Skip the dishwasher and avoid extreme temperature changes, as these can damage blown glass vases and Murano glassware. A little care goes a long way with handcrafted pieces like this.

The Node is 19cm (7.5 inches) tall—a really versatile size for all sorts of arrangements. This large glass vase is perfect for statement florals like garden roses, peonies, or calla lilies that have height and presence. It's also stunning with ranunculus, dahlias, or anemones—anything with a bit of sculptural quality that can hold its own against the Rostrato texture.

We especially love it with scabiosa, which has that delicate, textural quality that looks beautiful against the glass. The Node also works brilliantly with orchids for a more architectural moment, or lisianthus when you want something softer and romantic.

One of our favorite styling tricks? Flowers en masse. Instead of mixed bouquets, try filling the Node with multiples of one bloom—think twenty stems of white garden roses, masses of ranunculus in a single jewel tone, or bundles of calla lilies in varying heights. This mono-floral approach feels incredibly luxe and intentional right now. It lets both the flowers and the sculptural vase shine without competing for attention, and honestly, it's just so sophisticated.

We love it on console tables, dining tables, and entryways—anywhere you want the vase itself to be a sculptural focal point. Many interior designers choose this size for exactly that reason.

Absolutely. This luxury glass vase makes an exceptional housewarming, wedding, or celebration gift. Each piece arrives carefully packaged, and Australian orders over $300 ship free.

Rostrato means "beaked" in Italian and refers to the pointed protrusions covering the surface of this Murano Rostrato style vase. This texture is created during the glass-blowing process and creates beautiful light effects, making each hand blown glass vase a functional sculpture.

Honestly? It's both. The Node is a functional flower vase and glass art piece. It honours the artistic tradition of Venetian glassmaking while serving a practical purpose. Some collectors display artistic glass vases like this as standalone art, while others use them for fresh cut flower displays. The hand blown glass construction and Rostrato detailing make it a legitimate piece of glass artwork—it's just art you can actually use.

Clear glass vases like our Node offer versatility—they showcase your flower stems as part of the design and work with any color palette. The transparent glass vase quality means the Rostrato texture becomes the star, creating stunning light refraction effects. Clear vases also have a timeless, gallery-like aesthetic that suits both vintage and contemporary interiors. That said, we also offer our Node in Truffle brown for those seeking vintage glass vases warmth.

While we don't sell authentic vintage vases or antique vases, our Node collection captures the aesthetic of those collectible vintage glass vases from the 1960s-70s without the fragility or high prices. For those seeking vintage vases in Australia or antique glass vases, our contemporary pieces offer the same mid-century appeal with modern durability and immediate availability. Plus, you know exactly what you're getting.
