AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Striking handmade sculptural art glass vase, signed “Castel”.

The vase is executed in dark black/brown glass with elaborate clear glass applications, gold-coloured decorative elements and a dramatically folded sculptural rim with white/silver speckled decoration.

The body bears an engraved handwritten signature reading “Castel”.

On the underside is an original label marked:

“HAND MADE – V 5/50”

This indicates that the vase appears to belong to a limited series of 50 examples, this being number 5.

The piece has a highly sculptural studio-glass appearance and was clearly individually handmade.

The exact identity and history of the artist have not been independently verified, therefore the object is offered based on the visible signature and original numbering label.

Good vintage condition with age-related wear and minor surface traces. Please carefully examine all photographs, as they form an integral part of the description.

The vase will be very carefully packed for shipping.
