The Kalia vase is an example of 1970s Italian art glass, crafted using the sommerso technique from layered, hand-shaped, mass-colored glass. Its deep cobalt base gradually transitions into a body of translucent, warm ivory, culminating in a bold lemon-yellow accent that flows seamlessly into the vase’s asymmetrical opening. Vertical ribbing on the glossy, smooth surface amplifies the organic, plant-inspired character, reminiscent of a calla lily in bloom. The glass is clear and vibrant, with precise color gradations and a sculptural silhouette that demonstrates the mastery of Italian glassmakers of the era. The vase is in excellent condition, with no visible damage or clouding; the colors remain vivid and the surface is pristine. Kalia’s form echoes the voice of its time, when Italian glasshouses ventured into new realms of color, light, and organic design. The vase captures the moment of a flower’s unfolding—frozen in glass—its flowing color transitions and sculptural asymmetry telling the story of a decade that embraced nature as muse while celebrating bold artistic gestures. Each line and hue speaks of craftsmanship and the pursuit of expressive, innovative forms. The Kalia vase can be placed on an oak console or a contemporary metal table, where natural light will emphasize the depth of its cobalt and yellow tones. It works well as a standalone accent in a mid-century modern setting, but also fits into eclectic, collector-inspired interiors where pairing with ceramics or Murano glass highlights its Italian heritage. It may be combined with neutral textiles or minimalist artwork to allow its organic form and vivid palette to take center stage.
