About this Item
Notes
This architectural vase is a quintessential example of the Antiqua or texturised lines pioneered by STELVIA during the height of the mid-century Italian glass renaissance.
Located in the historic Empoli region of Tuscany, Stelvia revolutionised traditional utilitarian green glass production by introducing bold geometric silhouettes, vibrant colourways, and dramatic, tactile surfaces. The rugged, relief-moulded texture of the present lot beautifully diffuses light, illustrating the factory's successful synthesis of industrial mould techniques and artisanal art-glass sensibilities.
