About the Item

A striking example of mid-century Italian art glass, this tall hand-blown vase features a rich tortoiseshell pattern in deep espresso and amber tones over a warm, buttery yellow base. Retaining its original “White Cristal – Hand Made in Italy” sticker, this piece reflects the decorative glass traditions seen in Empoli and Murano during the 1970s, celebrated for their bold color effects and organic, fluid patterning. The cylindrical silhouette and glossy surface highlight the skill of Italian artisan glassmakers. There is a small area with a slightly different texture (see close-up photos), a natural characteristic of hand-blown glass and part of its authentic, handmade charm. In excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks, this vase works beautifully with fresh florals, dried stems, or as a sculptural standalone accent. A warm and textural addition to mid-century, retro, or contemporary interiors. Check our other listings for more Italian art glass pieces and detailed photographs. All orders are carefully packed and shipped within 24–48 hours to ensure safe delivery.
