AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An extraordinarily elegant and stage-presence ornamental piece: a tall decorative vase reaching 44 cm, born from the perfect blend of Italian glass art and the high tradition of Marche silversmithing. Signed at the base by the renowned designer Castellani for the prestigious ACCA manufactory.

With a height of 44 centimeters, this vase stands as a true interior sculpture. The slender silhouette widens upward with a spectacular “handkerchief” mouth softly undulated, designed to catch the light and diffuse it throughout the room. The glass body features a delicate iridescent finish that creates shifting, pearlescent reflections with every change in illumination.

The vase body is a masterpiece of technical craft: the glass is mouth-blown and worked with twisted ribbing (the “vortex” or torchon effect), a complex technique requiring absolute control of the glowing material. The regular twisting of the ribbing guides the eye upward, emphasizing the object’s verticality.

The monumental glass structure is firmly set in a sumptuous molded base, finished with an elegant raised torchon motif that echoes the movement of the glass. The base bears clearly incised the official State hallmarks for 925‰ sterling silver and the cursive author’s signature Castellani.

Founded in 1975 in Recanati by Bruno Castellani, the ACCA company is an absolute reference in Italy’s luxury giftware sector. Famous for combining the purity of 925‰ silver worked by hand with noble materials such as crystal and artistic glass, ACCA signs art objects destined to endure over time. Owning a piece from the Castellani line means bringing into the home a fragment of the history of Italian artisanal design from the late 20th century.
