ABOUT PRODUCTID 33182
The Opalina Fiorentina vase from the 1950s exemplifies Italian glassmaking from the Empoli region. Its form is rooted in mid-century modern principles: a bulbous body transitions smoothly into pronounced shoulders and a long, slender neck that gently flares at the rim. The milky white opaline glass, characteristic of Italian kilns of the era, displays a subtle opalescent sheen—shimmering with delicate hints of blue and yellow depending on the light. The finish is glossy and smooth to the touch, while the elegantly shaped base with a short, decorative stem provides both stability and a refined profile. All transitions between the sections are seamless, the craftsmanship precise, with no visible marks or texture. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, with no signs of use, damage, or restoration. This vase tells a quiet story of Italy’s dolce vita in the mid-twentieth century—a discreet luxury that never relied on excess. Its luminous glow, reminiscent of a Tuscan morning, gives the glass an almost ethereal quality. The classic silhouette and gentle play of color evoke a sense of nostalgia and lightness, typical of 1950s Italian design. This is glass that does not impose itself; instead, it invites contemplative attention, each glance revealing a different opalescent shade. The vase can be paired with mid-century modern furniture or with contemporary, minimalist forms. It works well as a standalone centerpiece on a console or sideboard, where natural or artificial light can reveal its subtle reflections. It is worth combining with neutral ceramics or a single branch to emphasize its timeless, understated character. In collector interiors, it can also be grouped with other mid-century glass objects, harmonizing with soft textiles and natural materials. The listed price applies to one piece.
