This piece is an iconic example of Italian "Space Age" design, highly sought-after for its modern aesthetic and vibrant colors.

Subject and Style: The vase features a slender hourglass or "double cone" shape, typical of Moretti's production from that decade. The decoration features the classic "festoon" or draped wave motif: bands of acid green/lime alternate against a milky white background. The visual effect is fluid and dynamic, creating a very modern graphic play that pairs perfectly with vintage or minimalist contemporary furnishings.

Material and Finish: Made of opaline glass (often referred to as "incamiciato" or cased glass), with a satin or semi-matte outer surface that softly diffuses the light. The color is achieved by overlapping layers of glass during the glass blowing process, ensuring intense and lasting color.
