AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant silvered metal little jar, featuring a refined star setting and a form strongly reminiscent of Art Deco taste.
The body, slender and slightly flared toward the top, is animated by vertical ribbing that creates a pleasant twisting effect and reflects light in a particularly suggestive way. The upper edge has a characteristic star-shaped contour, with 6 alternating points that give the mouth of the vase a sculptural look.
A very distinctive feature is also the base, built through a sequence of overlapping and stepped geometric elements, ending in a sort of multi-point star. The overall design fully recalls the decorative repertoire of the 1920s and 1930s, based on symmetry, geometry, and stylization.
The silvered surface, bright and highly reflective, further enhances the object's decorative character. A small decor item of great impact, interesting both as a vase and as a collectible piece.
Dimensions 13x7 cm.
Excellent condition.
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.
