AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of Vintage Vases "V.B. Opaline Florence" – Garbed/Encased Glass – Italy, c. 1970
Splendid and heavy pair of vintage art glass vases encased, produced in Empoli (Florence) by the famous V.B. Opaline Florence atelier, dating from the late 1960s to the early 1970s.
The pieces stand out for their refined Pop Art / Space Age design, with a lively marbled flame decoration.
The construction consists of three stacked layers: inner white milk glass base, central decoration with colored enamels, and outer transparent crystal cover.
The orange pitcher still bears its original paper label from the era, a very rare detail that certifies authenticity.
The blue vase features the typical cold-smoothed flat base.
Cup/vase (Blue/Orange): Height 24.5 cm, Width 10 cm, Weight: 687 g.
Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or rounding."
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
