AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of vase and textured carafe in blown green glass, Biot-type, 1960s
Description
Beautiful vintage decorative set consisting of two pieces in artisanal blown glass in deep emerald green and translucent. This duo testifies to European organic glass art of the mid-20th century (Biot / Empoli style).
These pieces catch the light with depth, creating vibrant emerald reflections throughout any interior.
Details aesthetic and dimensions :
- Vase :
Dimensions: 36.5 cm (H) x 21 cm (D).
Esthetic: Its slender silhouette starts from a bulbous base, stretches into a fine neck, then opens into an elegantly undulating and fluted corolla. The body is traversed by fine vertical ribs that dynamize its form and emphasize its luminous transparency.
-Carafe texturée :
Dimensions: 33 cm (H) x 16 cm (D).
Esthetic: A piece with strong presence, characterized by a richly textured surface. The thick body bears a regular honeycomb-like raised pattern that wonderfully plays with light. It rests on a clearly defined foot, highlighting its artisanal and robust character.
State of conservation :
Nice vintage overall condition. Both pieces bear authentic marks of manual workmanship: small air bubbles trapped in the material, thickness variations and surface imperfections that make each piece unique. The base of the carafe shows a pontil scar (in the shape of an "X"), a sign of the glass cane being manually detached by the glassmaker during creation. Mild signs of normal use on the bases.
