About the Item

This Mid-Century Modernist black glass vase, crafted in Italy circa 1980, is a visually striking piece that beautifully showcases the innovation and artistry of its time. The vase is adorned with an intricate sterling silver overlay featuring a detailed crocodile motif, which adds a touch of exotic elegance to the sleek design. This combination of materials and techniques highlights the era's dedication to merging bold aesthetic choices with exceptional craftsmanship. The exquisite form and finish of the vase are immediately apparent. The deep, glossy black of the glass provides a dramatic backdrop that accentuates the shimmering sterling silver overlay. This contrast not only enhances the vase's visual appeal but also draws attention to the intricacy of the crocodile motif, which weaves around the smooth surface, adding dynamic movement and texture. A lovely vase that will style well in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
