This piece showcases chartreuse green glass with broad swirls of opaque white, embedded directly into the vessel during the blowing process—creating a dynamic, striped optic effect throughout the surface. The form is striking: an exaggerated urn shape with a full, rounded belly that tapers at the neck and flares slightly at the rim. It’s a lesser-seen silhouette from c.a.t., and an excellent example of the experimental yet functional artistry emerging from tuscany’s mid-century glassworks. This vintage italian glass vase measures approximately 31 cm in height and 24 cm in diameter, giving it notable presence on a console, centre table, or open shelving. In very good vintage condition with no cracks or chips. Minor surface wear commensurate with age and gentle use. A bold collector’s piece that bridges sculptural form and decorative utility—ideal for those drawn to post-war italian design and distinctive mid-century modern glassware. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no

however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
