AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and imposing cylindrical decorative vase dating from the Mid-Century Modern period (roughly the 1960s/1970s).
The piece stands out for the refined craftsmanship of the blown glass body of notable thickness, characterized by a satin/acid-etched finish in the evocative olive green / smoky hue, which gradually shifts toward darker and more intense tones toward the lower part.
The external surface is adorned with a complex cold-worked pattern featuring raised relief cuts in the shape of oval lenses and circular forms. The milled, transparent, and glossy grooves create an extraordinary optical contrast with the matte surface of the glass, producing fascinating plays of light and refractions.
The vase is completed at the base by a refined, shaped silver mounting that provides stability and adds an additional touch of refinement and elegance to the piece.
