This Italian art glass vase from the 1970s exemplifies hand-blown cased glasswork, colored in the mass. The dominant tone is a semi-translucent, cool yellow, enriched with dynamic black and white marbled streaks that form an organic pattern across the surface. The neck transitions into a wide, trumpet-shaped mouth with a subtle gradient from white to clear, producing a smoky effect. A sculptural handle, crafted from twisted clear glass, serves as both a decorative and tactile element, highlighting the artistry characteristic of Italian glassmaking. The undulating, bulbous contours of the body and the glossy finish accentuate the depth of color and pattern. The vase measures 31 cm in height and 15 cm in width. It is preserved in very good vintage condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs.The form of this vase resonates with the spirit of 1970s Italian design, an era when color expression and formal experimentation defined new directions in applied arts. The vibrant streaks evoke the energy of a city at night, while the twisted handle suggests the confident gesture of a craftsman allowing the material to take its own shape. This object seems to tell the story of a period when artisans boldly combined imagination with technical mastery, and each vase emerged as a small sculpture with its own distinct personality.This piece could be displayed in a living room on a low, light wood sideboard or a marble surface, where the material contrast highlights the glass’s vivid palette. It may be paired with minimalist ceramics, a single branch, or left empty to act as a sculptural focal point. The vase would suit mid-century modern arrangements as well as eclectic, collector’s spaces, where colorful glass opens a dialogue with other icons of 1960s and 1970s design.
