AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant decorative vase with silver inserts, characterized by a tall, tapering form, with a slightly swollen body in the central part and a wide, flared neck. The vase rests on an elevated foot and on a flat circular base, also richly decorated.
The surface features a background in brown-bronze and amber tones, on which an elaborate silver decoration develops, created with delicate motifs of volutes, plant tendrils, floral elements and arabesques. The decoration, very dense and refined, extends practically over the entire surface of the vase and continues also on the base.
Art Deco style. The body of the vase is completely filled with a refined silver floral decoration with at the center a figure of a dancer.
Measurements 41x15 cm.
Excellent condition, the inner rim of the vase body was left rough by the glassmaker who produced it.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
