Description from the seller

Superb and important piece of blown glass art, with sculptural design and very fluid lines.

The piece presents an elongated and elegantly tapered form, with glass that is perfectly transparent, threaded with amber-yellow and golden nuances. The center is particularly worked, with many swirls and inclusions of clear, white, and amber glass that create a remarkable play of light and depth.

The workmanship is entirely characteristic of artisanal glass work, with a beautiful thickness and organic shapes obtained through hot glass working.

The piece bears an old label indicating:

“Piece executed by hand by Florentine master glassmakers”

It also carries a small sticker “FAIT MAIN.”

The label is old and shows significant wear, with tears and traces of time, visible in the photographs.

This large decorative piece is a particularly spectacular object, both by its dimensions and by its glasswork and its transparency and light effects.

Condition: good overall for its age, with some superficial signs of use. The old label is heavily worn. Please study the photographs carefully, which are an integral part of the description.
