This Italian pulegoso glass vase is a testament to the artistry of 1960s Italian glassmaking. Crafted from soda-lime glass, it stands out with its vibrant turquoise-cobalt hue and a semi-gloss finish. The classic, trumpet-shaped form features a flared body that transitions smoothly into a rounded base and a wide, stable foot. Its most distinctive quality lies in the countless small air bubbles trapped within the glass—a result of the pulegoso technique—which lend the piece a subtly textured surface. Measuring 24.5 cm in height with a maximum diameter of 15 cm and a base diameter of 11 cm, the vase has no visible cracks or chips; only minor internal surface scratches typical of authentic vintage objects are present. Condition: very good, with no signs of restoration. The saturated color and softly diffused texture of the bubbles evoke the spirit of Italian modernism. The vase’s balanced, harmonious silhouette conjures images of southern light refracted in glass, every air bubble preserving a fragment of workshop history. This is an object that could just as easily have graced a marble countertop in a 1960s Milanese café as the curated shelf of a design aficionado—embodying both the simplicity and sophistication of its era. The vase may be displayed solo on a light wood or marble console to showcase its color and texture. It works well alongside minimalist decorations—a single branch, a ceramic bowl, or a framed graphic—to highlight its modernist heritage. Spaces in the mid-century modern spirit or eclectic collector’s interiors would benefit from its understated accent of color. Consider pairing the vase with objects in simple forms or Murano glass to enhance the subtlety of the pulegoso technique.
