A striking vintage Italian hand-blown glass wine jug dating to the 1940s. With its distinctive rotund form, elongated spout and substantial weight, this beautifully made vessel is as much a sculptural object as it is a functional piece of vintage glassware.
The simple, ergonomic form gives the jug a wonderful mid-century character, while the individual variations created during the hand-blowing process make it completely unique. Its generous rounded body and elegant elongated spout create a particularly balanced silhouette.
Originally made as a wine jug, it can still be used at the table or displayed as a sculptural decorative object. It would also make an elegant vase for a simple arrangement of flowers or branches.
In excellent vintage condition, this one-of-a-kind piece is a beautiful example of the understated design and craftsmanship of mid-century Italian glass.
Found in Lecce, the Baroque capital of Salento, it brings a subtle touch of Italian vintage design to a contemporary interior.
