Mid-Century Italian Set of Cased Opaline Glass Vessels

Mid-Century Italian Set of Cased Opaline Glass Vessels

Fabulous set of 1950’s Italian Blue Opaline cased glass covered containers. Both In excellent condition. Set consists of (1) 12″ tall long stem covered vessel and (1) 6.5″ tall covered mushroom jar. Both are handblown and the circus tent pedstal has applied base and stem. Color on both pieces is identical. Inner casing is thin white, outer casing is deep teal blue – results in a beautiful light teal blue. The applied base/stem and the “knobs” of the lids on the circus tent pedestal are solid glass and show the true color of the dark teal blue on both pieces.

These remarkable items were made by a fine Italian or Scandinavian maker, name unknown at this time, research continues. The “Mushroom Jar” is very special. Extremely hard to find and…oh so…retro.
