An extraordinary and rare collector's vase made of white opaline glass featuring a striking, neoclassical relief band. Crafted by the renowned Opaline Florence manufactory in Italy, this elegant piece masterfully bridges the gap between historical splendor and the iconic silhouettes of the 20th century.
Design & Details
The vase captivates with its powerful, sculptural form: a striking, wide rim tapers to an elegant neck before transitioning into a sturdy, cylindrical body. The center is adorned with a delicate, clear pressed relief depicting an ancient Roman chariot scene (quadriga) with dynamic horses and charioteers. Framed by subtle braided bands, the silky-matte texture of the white milk glass beautifully captures the light and perfectly highlights the depth of the tactile relief.
Although this specific model is dated to the turn-of-the-century period (1890–1919) in official trade catalogs, the design served as a major inspiration for Italian mid-century glass design of the 1960s and 70s. This makes it highly appealing to both antique collectors and lovers of modern interiors.
Whether in a luxurious Hollywood Regency style, a neoclassical collection, or as a structurally striking focal point in an eclectic mid-century setting—this vase possesses an unmistakable visual presence.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or chips. The glass has retained its beautiful, clean white luster and a flawless surface. Minimal manufacturing characteristics or tiny air bubbles, which are characteristic of early molded glass, may be present upon very close inspection.
