AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Italian glass chalice vase on twisted stem - Murano / Empoli style - circa 1960s/1970s
An impressive and highly decorative hand-blown glass chalice vase (chalice / centerpiece) in mid-century Italian style (Empoli / Murano). The deep goblet-shaped cup is rendered in a brilliant ruby-red (rosso rubino) color with a subtle, organic layering in the glass.
The piece immediately stands out for its artistically pierced and twisted stem that splits under the cup into two graceful arms with elegant scroll-like handles. The vase rests on a wide, stable foot of clear aquamarine/light green glass, with an authentic rough pontil mark on the bottom confirming the artisanal craftsmanship. A beautiful vintage design object that plays beautifully with the light.
• Material: Hand-blown art glass (Ruby red and aquamarine)
• Condition: In excellent vintage condition. The glass is completely intact with no cracks, chips, or restorations. Minimal, normal signs of aging on the bottom of the foot.
• Maker: Produced in Italy (Empoli / Murano style)
The item will be professionally and very securely packed to ensure safe arrival. The vase is shipped fully insured to the winning bidder, including a track-and-trace code to track the package.
