ABOUT PRODUCTID 32214
This vase from Empoli, crafted in the 1950s, is a notable example of Italian art glass in the mid-century modern style. Made from opalescent, semi-translucent glass, its surface subtly shimmers with cool white, pale blue, and soft yellow hues depending on the light’s angle. The glossy, mirror-like finish and the absence of visible texture emphasize the minimalist nature of the design. The form features a flared, trumpet-shaped mouth, a rounded body, and a stable, circular foot, all seamlessly created from a single piece of glass. Its proportions are harmonious, with gentle curves that highlight its refined, balanced silhouette. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no signs of wear, damage, or restoration. This vase, like a delicate mist captured in glass, tells the story of Italian craftsmanship in the postwar era. Its form reflects the spirit of the mid-20th century, when Empoli was renowned for subtle, minimalist design. The opalescent surface recalls morning light spreading across Tuscan marble floors—quiet, yet full of vitality. Each change in perspective shifts the play of color, evoking the importance of light and mood that defined the artistry of that period. The vase can be paired with a modern, low console made of light wood or marble, where its iridescent glass will accentuate the subtle sheen of the surface. It works well as a standalone accent in a minimalist setting, but could also be combined with other 1950s glass pieces to create a curated display. Interiors in mid-century modern, Scandinavian, or eclectic styles would benefit from its lightness and gentle play of light, especially near natural light sources. The listed price refers to one individual vase.
