AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Handmade cobalt blue glass vase, antiqued with acids, a copy of Roman-era glass.
This particular decorative technique was made famous by historic Venetian art foundries in the 1960s. The matte, rough, encrusted effect is achieved by applying special powders, salts, and metallic oxides to the surface of the incandescent glass during processing.
This process deliberately mimics the chemical corrosion and iridescence typical of archaeological glasses buried underground for centuries.
The vase is inspired by the form of a small amphora used in antiquity to contain perfumed oils or unguents.
It features a globular body, a flared neck decorated with ring-applied glass filaments, and two small symmetrical cobalt-blue glass handles that connect the shoulder to the neck of the pitcher.
Dimensions: height 17 cm, diameter 9 cm
