Circa 1970s / 1980s.
This striking piece features a beautiful, painterly color palette fading from a deep sky blue rim into a frosted, cloud-like white and grey base. The heavily textured, matte exterior mimics the ancient, excavated appearance of Roman antiquities—a process achieved by applying powdered chemical salts and metal oxides directly onto the glass while molten hot.
The vase is fully signed on the base with the classic diamond-engraved cursive script signature "Cenedese". With its dramatic wide rim and substantial weight, it serves as an imposing standalone sculptural object or a magnificent centerpiece bowl-vase for luxury coastal, modern, or brutalist home decor.
