AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and imposing vintage centerpiece vase in heavy artistic glass, made in Italy and distributed by the historic firm Astuni International.
The piece features an elegant flared and wavy "handkerchief" mouth, typical of the Italian glassmaking tradition.
The sophisticated craftsmanship develops in three spectacular hot-blended color bands: an intense cobalt blue at the neck, fading into a central pale straw-yellow body finely veined, ending with a ruby red base.
On the base there are two original vintage labels perfectly preserved: the brand sticker "Astuni - Made in Italy" and the guarantee label "Glass made according to the technique of the masters of Murano - Made in Italy", which certifies the superb execution of the object according to the standards of the glass masters.
With an exceptional and hefty weight of no less than 3,687 grams, this vase stands out for the thickness and quality of the glass paste, a testament to handmade artisanal craftsmanship rather than mass-produced industrially.
A vintage collectible piece, intact and in excellent condition, with a strong visual impact. The photos are an integral part of the description.

Seller's Story

For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era. Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique. I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen. I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible. Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
