This vintage Art Deco vase, crafted in Italy during the 1950s, is made from translucent lemon-yellow crystal glass with thick, precisely cut walls. Its octagonal, geometric form is highlighted by sharp, faceted edges that reflect the distinctive vocabulary of late Art Deco. The material—heavy, lead crystal glass—gives the piece substantial weight, while the highly polished, glossy surface amplifies the light refraction and intensifies the fresh, cool lemon hue. Stripped of additional decoration, the vase embraces the minimalist, modernist approach emblematic of mid-century Italian glassmaking. The surface appears free from visible scratches, chips, or repairs; the vase remains in very good condition, with no signs of previous restoration or wear.The vase tells a story of optimism in postwar Italy—its lemon glass capturing and reflecting the clarity and vitality of ambient light. This faceted form, sculpted like a sunbeam, echoes the modernist credo: 'Simplicity matters; luxury is concealed in proportion and the breath of light across a smooth surface.' Italian craftsmanship of this era honors the significance of detail, and the translucent color brings a sense of freshness and coolness—evoking the quiet dawns of the mid-twentieth century.Placed solo on a solid wood dining or console table, the vase highlights its sculptural geometry. It may also be grouped with other glass or crystal vessels of simple form, serving as a focal collector’s accent in interiors oriented toward mid-century modern, modernist, or classic art deco aesthetics. For added interest, it can be combined with vases in contrasting colors—ruby red or emerald green—to create a dynamic interplay of light and color within a contemporary setting.
