Tapio Wirkkala's Murano Vases

The 'incalmo' procedure consisted of combining two molten masses of different colored glass.

This series, Bolle, was made in 1966. MGR

I'm interested in the Tapio Wirkkala Venini vases. Are they still available on the marked ? Where are they sold?
Thanks for the information

These are available at Moss in NYC or online. They are amazing and over $7K!

I got mine for well under the $7K retail. But it's taken me 10 years. One from Ebay, one from Venini in Venice, 2 from an auction at wright20.com But the hunt is half the fun. I see them every day on my way out of the apartment and they are worth every penny i spent on them.
