AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Up for auction: a large artistic hand-made glass vase from the Italian modern design period (probably the 1970s/1980s). The vase is distinguished by a fascinating “spot” decoration in natural tones of brown, beige and amber, creating an elegant tortoiseshell effect.
The craftsmanship is entirely artisanal, sculptural, and highly impactful visually. The solid structure and a substantial weight of over 2.2 kg attest to its heft and material quality. As a freehand piece, the exterior surface shows light, captivating “humps” and waves perceptible to the touch, due to the different thermal reactions and densities of the colored glasses incorporated into the main glass mass. Inside the glass thickness there are also characteristic air bubbles, and the upper edge (lip) displays a deliberately irregular thickness: all elements typical of genuine hand-made workmanship.
The vase bears no signatures or marks.
A solid, scenographic vintage furnishing piece, perfect for art glass collectors or to embellish design interiors.
Excellent vintage condition. It shows no runs, chips, or restorations.
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.
