Vetreria Barbieri (VB - Ewer (2) - Italian retro Opaline Florence vases / jugs - opaline glass

Two rare vintage design vases/gift jugs from the renowned Italian brand Opaline Florence, produced by Vetreria Barbieri (VB) in the 1970s.
These vases are an iconic example of Italian Mid-Century Modern glassware. They are hand-blown from white opaline milk glass, decorated with a spectacular and dynamic marbled pattern of blazing orange, deep black, and soft gray. Each vase is unique due to its handmade character (Murano-style). The jugs are elegantly finished with a gracefully twisted, clear glass handle and a refined pouring spout.
What makes this set special is that one of the vases still features the original factory paper sticker ("VB Opaline Florence, Made in Italy"), which greatly increases authenticity and value for collectors.
