Of monumental proportions (64 × 60 × 11 cm), this piece embodies the purity and balance characteristic of postwar Italian design. Its organic silhouette, with soft lines and flowing edges, demonstrates absolute mastery of the free-blowing technique (soffiato a mano), where the thickness of the glass and its curvature are shaped with sculptural precision.

Although unsigned, the quality of the workmanship, the transparency of the material, and its harmonious form closely link it to documented Vistosi models from the same period—such as the signed 1973 example cited on 1stdibs.

Its ethereal presence and large size make this object a true sculpture of light, perfect as a centerpiece, sculptural bowl, or accent piece in contemporary interiors.
