Product description
This is a "Colonatto" vase, designed by the celebrated Italian artist Lino Sabattini in 1989. The piece is a fine example of Sabattini's work, known for its fluid, sculptural forms and innovative use of silver-plated metal, reflecting the designer's deep connection to the post-war Italian design movement.
Crafted in Italy from silver-plated metal, the vase features a distinctive, asymmetrical silhouette with a dramatically angled opening. Its form rises from a unique teardrop-shaped base supported by a series of small, pin-like feet, a characteristic detail that adds a sense of lightness and elevation to the object. This construction showcases Sabattini's mastery in manipulating metal into elegant and unexpected shapes.
The vase is in good condition, showing a characterful and significant patina that has developed over time. This surface quality is typical for vintage silver-plated items and contributes to its authentic, historical appeal. The integrity of the form remains fully intact, presenting as a coherent sculptural statement.
As a decorative object, this piece functions beautifully on its own or with a minimal floral arrangement. It is well-suited for a sideboard, console, or display cabinet within a Modern, Postmodern, or Italian Design-focused interior, adding a touch of refined artistry.
