This hand-blown glass vase from Italy, dating to the 1970s, showcases the distinctive qualities of retro Italian design: vivid olive-green glass with a cool undertone, a glossy, almost translucent surface, and bold proportions. Around the midsection, a band of applied clear glass accents—rounded and oval in shape—adds a tactile, three-dimensional effect, introducing subtle movement to the piece. The vase’s silhouette, with its wide base, central narrowing, and generously flared mouth, evokes the modernist aesthetic of the 1970s, combining gentle contours with a sense of solidity. Weighing 1.5 kg and measuring 25 cm in height and 13 cm in width, its smooth, reflective finish and sculptural relief details draw the eye. Condition: very good, with only minimal signs of use such as faint scratches on the base, no mechanical damage, and original finish preserved. This vase tells the story of the vibrant optimism of 1970s Italian design: glass that catches and reflects the light like a tranquil lake, illuminating interiors with green depth and crisp white accents. Its dynamic yet harmonious form seems to flow, while the transparent glass applications lend an airy lightness and a playful touch. It embodies an era when bold experimentation with colour and texture signalled a spirit open to new aesthetic experiences. The vase would work well as a stand-alone accent on an oak sideboard, marble table, or in a contemporary, eclectic living room. It can be paired with minimalist ceramics, Murano glass, or graphic green plants; in mid-century modern settings or among collectible pieces from the 1960s and 1970s,
