AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Urn-shaped trophy vase made of heavily veined alabaster / alabastro fiorito, likely Italian, with a classical form featuring a wide flared rim, a surrounding lip, a profiled foot, and a square base.
The piece is crafted from heavy, polished natural stone and displays a very beautiful honey-yellow, cream-white, gray, and dark natural marbling. The dark inclusions and veins are part of the stone’s natural structure.
Manufacturer / Brand: unknown. No visible signature, punch, engraving, or maker’s mark present.
Condition: good, age-appropriate condition with light signs of wear, small scratches, and natural veins in the stone. No major chips or significant damages visible. Bottom with green felt pad.
A comparable form and size is known from Italian auction practice: a “vaso in alabastro fiorito, XIX secolo” was described there with a height of 20 cm and a diameter of 12 cm and valued at approx. €1,000–1,200. This note serves solely as a comparison regarding form, material, size, and possible dating. Each natural stone object has an individual character due to grain, veins, and inclusions.

Diameter at top: approx. 11.5 cm
