1970s Modernist Hammered Clear Glass Italian Cylindrical Vase

This italian vase embodies the simplicity, elegance, and innovative spirit of the Modernist movement that flourished in mid-20th-century design. Italian glassware of this era is celebrated for its exquisite craftsmanship, creativity, and the use of high-quality materials, making such pieces highly sought after by collectors and design aficionados alike. The vase’s cylindrical form represents a departure from more traditional, ornate designs, favoring instead a minimalist aesthetic that emphasizes the beauty of its material and the purity of its shape. The clear glass captures and refracts light, creating a luminous effect that enhances its surroundings without overpowering them. This choice of material and shape reflects the Modernist ethos of ‘form follows function,’ where decorative elements are pared down to reveal the essential beauty of an object’s utility and materiality. Standing at a moderate height, the vase would likely feature a smooth, polished surface, allowing the clarity and brilliance of the glass to be fully appreciated from every angle. The open top offers a versatile vessel for displaying floral arrangements or standing alone as a sculptural piece. The vase is in perfect condition.
