Designed and produced in italy in the 1990s, these vases embody the playful yet refined spirit of late post-modern glasswork.

the pair features a smaller vase in a deep cherry red hue and a larger vase in a lighter, pink-toned red. Both are exceptionally heavy for their size, with a smooth, tactile finish that feels substantial and luxurious in hand.

their clean sculptural forms and vivid colors make them ideal accent pieces for a variety of interiors—from bathroom shelves to bedroom vanities or display cabinets. Highly decorative yet minimalist in form.

condition: excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Minor signs of wear consistent with age.
