Description from the seller

Elegant decorative silver vase produced by the prestigious Italian manufacturer Ottaviani, a renowned brand specializing in the production of artistic objects and high‑quality furnishing accessories.

The vase features a slender and harmonious shape with a circular base worked and a slightly flared upper neck. The glossy surface of the silver is enriched by a refined central relief band finely chased. A distinctive element of the decoration is the evocative lion’s head at the center of the ornamental band: the face, crafted with great care in detail, shows intense features, a flowing mane and a carved beard, elements that recall classical motifs inspired by the Baroque. The lateral volutes and the dotted background create an elegant contrast that enhances the relief of the figure.

This vase represents a typical example of Italian decorative design from the 1960s, where craftsmanship and ornamental taste merge into a piece with a strong presence on the scene. Ideal both as a collectible piece and as a refined furnishing element.

Provenance: private collection.

Period: 1960s
Material: silver with stamp under the vase
Height: 27 cm
