The Opaline Florence vase from the 1960s is a testament to Italian glassmaking, crafted in the renowned Stelvia glassworks of Florence, Empoli region. Its bulbous, harmonious body gently narrows at the neck and flares gracefully at the rim. The rich, saturated red hue with a high-gloss, almost mirror-like finish emphasizes the modernist nature of the piece, drawing attention to the smooth, reflective surface. The handle, made from clear, twisted glass, provides a contrasting accent and showcases artisanal skill. The overall design reflects the mid-century modern spirit, focusing on clarity of form, balanced proportions, and vivid color. Measuring 25.5 cm in height and 23 cm in maximum diameter, the vase is in excellent vintage condition, free from visible damage or signs of wear—the glass surface remains smooth, and the handle is solidly affixed. This glass composition echoes the voice of Italian 1960s design: bold color intertwines with disciplined form, and the generous silhouette seems to tell the story of an era when expressive hues were as important as function. The spiral handle recalls the gesture of a skilled glassmaker, capturing movement and southern light in molten glass. The vase, reminiscent of Florentine studios, suggests a love for decoration without excess, where every detail is intentional and the whole exudes quiet confidence. The vase can be displayed on a low, warm-toned wooden sideboard or a glass shelf, where light will enhance the depth of red and reflections on its lustrous surface. It pairs well with minimalist ceramics or a single, striking stem—such as a monstera leaf or slender grass. Interiors styled in mid-century modern, modernist living rooms, or eclectic vintage collections will gain a vibrant, colorful focal point. It is worth combining with accents in brass or black
