AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This expressive vintage glass vase in Italian design captivates with its sculptural form and detailed material workmanship. The heavy glass combines a lively 'Tortoise Shell' look in rich amber tones with fine air inclusions and three prominently raised glass rings that give the piece a sculptural presence. A characteristic decorative object that fits excellently in mid-century, Space Age, or Postmodern-inspired interiors.
