AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Striking vintage glass amphora pitcher, executed in the highly collectible 'Scavo' technique.
The scavo (Italian for 'excavated') technique was perfected in Murano in the mid-20th century to replicate the beautifully frosted, textured, and calcified surfaces of ancient Roman archaeological glass discoveries.
This particular piece features a beautifully balanced silhouette with a vibrant, coral-pink frosted body, offset by an applied seafoam-green glass handle and decorative neck rings. Based on the form, technique, and distinctive color palette, this piece is dating to the 1960s-1970s.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. The intentional rough, matte texture is inherent to the scavo manufacturing process. No visible chips, cracks, or restorations.
Height: 18 cm
A superb addition to any art glass collection or a standalone decorative piece for a postmodern interior.
