About the Item

Artistic Iridescent Glass Vase with Leaf-Shaped Handles - Italy, Second Half of the 20th Century H 28 cm x W 24 cm Decorative blown glass vase, crafted using a complex technique of layering and polychrome reactions that evoke the use of metallic leaf-likely gold-fused into the glass mass. The surface displays a shimmering iridescence with changing reflections, and a speckled effect suggesting the use of powders or noble gases such as argon during the making process. The spherical, ribbed body is adorned with two small hot-applied handles, stylized in the shape of leaves or wings, clearly inspired by organic forms. The overall impression is dynamic and vibrant: the blown and stretched material creates the effect of a torn, animated surface, constantly interacting with the light. A unique piece, the result of refined Italian artistic and artisanal craftsmanship, made between the 1960s and 1980s, and in dialogue with contemporary explorations in art glass.
