Fazzoletto Vase with Twisted Stem in Cased Caramel Glass
The ‘Handkerchief’ or ‘Fazzoletto’ style vase is an icon of postwar Italian glass. This style was made popular by Italy’s great glass artist ‘Venini’.
The style was widely popular in the late 1950’s to the early 1970’s and made by many fine glass makers in Italy. This vase was imported to the USA from Italy by KB (Koscherak Brothers) New York, NY. Circa 1960’s. Stunning. Beautiful dark amber twisted stem and inverted foot are applied to the butterscotch / ochre cased bowl. The inner layer is opaque white, outer layer is light amber. The bowl’s rim is heat-finished by hand. Hand-blown, pontil mark on seat is twisted and flattened.
In excellent condition. Medium bottom wear on seat of foot is appropriate for it’s age. Large. Stands 9.25″ at tallest, 7.25″ at widest. Weighs 1.5 lbs.
