ABOUT PRODUCTID 44030
This set of six alexandrite-colored vintage glasses exemplifies 1970s Italian design, attributed to Sergio Asti for Arnolfo di Cambio. Each glass features a sculptural, geometric silhouette: a solid, cylindrical base in a pastel lavender shade with subtle blue undertones transitions smoothly into a distinctly rounded bowl. The upper part remains completely transparent, creating a striking contrast with the tinted base. A distinctive detail is the visible air bubble encapsulated within the stem, lending each piece a unique decorative accent. The surface is smooth and glossy, retaining its original finish; there are no visible chips or cracks, only minor, characteristic scratches and signs of age-appropriate use. The price is for a full set of six pieces. Condition: preserved in good vintage state, unrestored, with normal traces of use.These glasses tell the story of Italian modernism, where the aesthetic of material meets the sculptural fantasy of the 1970s. Alexandrite glass subtly shifts its hue depending on the light—at times cool and bluish, at others a warmer violet, as if capturing the shimmering atmosphere of an Italian evening. The encapsulated air bubble in the stem echoes the era’s fascination with experimentation and optical illusion, resulting in an object that serves and captivates in equal measure.The glasses may be paired with a classic Italian decanter or a minimalist chrome tray to accentuate their modernist origins. They would suit a living room with mid-century modern elements, displayed in an open bar shelf or as a decorative accent on a light wooden table. Consider combining them with other glassware of simple lines and neutral textiles to highlight the subtle play of color and the lightness of their form.
