Hand-Blown Retro Decor Vase Handkerchief with Applied Twisted Stem

Snazzy mid-century art glass Fazzoletto vase. The ‘Handkerchief’ or ‘Fazzoletto‘ style vase is an icon of postwar Italian glass. Made famous by Italy’s great glass artist ‘Venini’. The style was widely popular in the late 1940’s to early 1950’s and made by many fine glass makers in Italy, America and the Scandinavian (Holmegaard) countries.

This lovely art glass retro decor vase is not signed. Solid amber glass hand twisted stem and inverted foot are applied to the grass green hand blown and pulled bowl. The bowl’s rim is heat-finished by hand. Pontil mark on seat is twisted and flattened.

In excellent condition. Medium bottom wear on seat of foot is appropriate for its age. Large vase stands 9.25″ at tallest, 7.25″ at widest. Weighs 1.5 lbs.
