This Italian glass jug, crafted in the 1960s, is a representative example of mid-century modern glasswork. Its form is defined by harmonious proportions: a wide, stable base gradually narrows toward the top, culminating in an irregularly shaped rim. The olive-green glass features a subtle gradient — deeper at the base, becoming lighter toward the rim — which enhances the organic impression of the vessel. Numerous small air bubbles are embedded in the glass mass, attesting to its handmade origin. The surface is smooth and glossy, elegantly reflecting light, while the clear glass handle, robustly attached with a rounded joint, provides both comfortable grip and visual lightness. There are no visible manufacturer or designer marks, yet the stylistic language and craftsmanship are unmistakably Italian from the mid-20th century. The jug is preserved in good vintage condition, showing minor scratches and typical signs of use, with no cracks or chips.This jug tells the story of the 1960s, when Italian glass studios experimented with coloured masses, organic shapes, and artisanal detail. Its irregular rim and presence of air bubbles evoke a time when craftsmanship met artistic freedom. The olive hue — at times deep, at times nearly translucent — recalls Mediterranean light and summer tables where every object had distinct character and reflected the maker’s passion.In an interior, this jug could serve on a dining table as a vessel for water, homemade lemonade, or as a single-flower vase. It offers decorative value to mid-century modern rooms, yet it can also find its place in eclectic, collector’s arrangements alongside 1960s ceramics or minimalist glassware. It could be paired with a heavy wooden tray or a geometric-patterned textile, creating
