This 1960s opaline glass vase, produced by Stelvia in Florence, embodies the artistic Italian glassmaking tradition of the mid-century modern era. Its form is harmoniously balanced: a bulbous, rounded body flows seamlessly into a narrow, elongated neck that gently flares at the rim. The entire piece is crafted from glossy glass, featuring a dynamic marbled pattern in tones of red, black, white, and grey. The body displays an intense interplay of colors, while the neck and rim transition to predominantly white and light grey. The vase is preserved in excellent original condition, with no visible damage, chips, or signs of restoration. Within this opaline form, one hears the voice of 1960s Italian modernism: Empoli glass, known for bold experiments with color and light, tells the story of a period when design was both decorative and practical. The marbled pattern, applied with precision, creates a sense of movement—making the entire silhouette appear as if it is awash in light and color. The neck, shaded in milky white, softens the strong contrasts, while the smooth surface reflects its surroundings like a tranquil pool. The vase can be displayed solo on an oak console or paired with minimalist black or white accessories to accentuate its sculptural character. It fits perfectly within mid-century modern interiors, but also in eclectic, collector’s spaces, where it can interact with 1960s ceramics or clear glass to create a dialogue of eras. Consider combining it with simple, geometric furniture and artwork so that the marbled motif remains the focal point of the arrangement. Height: approx. 24 cm. Diameter at the widest point: approx. 16 cm. Base diameter: approx. 9 cm. The vase is made from opaline glass with a smooth, glossy finish. The listed price refers to one piece.
