This Italian glass pitcher, dating from the 1970s, was crafted using traditional hand-blown techniques. The body, formed from transparent aquamarine glass, features a subtle spiral geometric cut that delicately refracts light and adds visual depth. The handle, made of clear glass, is smoothly integrated in an organic, flowing curve that harmonizes with the main form. The pitcher reflects mid-century modern aesthetics: minimalist design, gentle curves, and an absence of additional ornamentation or fittings. Its proportions are balanced – a tall, slightly tapering body resting on a wide, stable base. The surface is glossy and smooth to the touch, with the spiral motif providing a gentle tactile variation. Preserved in good condition; minor scratches and typical signs of use may be present, with no significant damage or repairs.This pitcher tells the story of Italian glassmaking in the 1970s, where color and light were distilled into simple, functional shapes. The aquamarine hue evokes memories of a summer morning on Lake Como, while the subtle spiral pattern seems to capture the motion of water. The clear handle merges with the body like a wave, imparting a sense of lightness and visual freshness. Even in stillness, the piece suggests the spirit of Italian modernism: understated sophistication and a bold approach to color.It can be paired with other glassware from the 1960s and 70s, cut glass pieces, or ceramics in neutral tones to highlight the refined color of the glass. The pitcher works well as a stand-alone accent on an oak table, a console, or within a display cabinet, where natural light will enhance its hue and the spiral motif. It is worth combining with a mid-century modern interior or an eclectic collector's space, where objects from different eras create a dialogue of forms and materials.
