Green glass vase, mid-century art glass, textured Italian-style vase, and sculptural avocado glass décor are some of the top search terms collectors use when hunting for standout tabletop pieces — and this dramatic vessel is exactly the kind of object that rises to the top of a curated interior. Richly pigmented in a vibrant avocado-green, this vase features a beautifully crumpled, lava-like texture with fluid, organic contours reminiscent of Empoli Italian art glass and 1960s Scandinavian studio work.
Its silhouette is exceptional: a wide, flared mouth that tapers into a cinched waist and expands again into a sculptural base. The dimensional surface refracts light with incredible depth, giving the piece a gemstone-like glow. This is the type of vase designers love — bold, architectural, and effortlessly chic, whether styled alone or filled with florals.
Although unsigned (as many mid-century European pressed and blown art-glass pieces are), its character is strongly aligned with mid-century Italian production, particularly makers in the Empoli region known for richly colored, textural green glass.
Provenance:
Sourced from a private collection in the American Southwest, curated by a long-time collector of European and mid-century modern art glass. The previous owner acquired many of their pieces during travels through Italy and Northern Europe in the 1970s.
Styling Ideas
Display on a travertine console or walnut sideboard for a quintessential mid-century modern look
Pair with other green glass pieces for a tonal, collected, design-magazine-ready vignette
Style solo on open shelving — its sculptural silhouette stands beautifully on its own
Use with dramatic branches (eucalyptus, olive, quince) or a monochromatic floral arrangement for a refined designer moment
Combine with brass, rattan, or stone accessories to enhance the organic textural contrast
