About the Item

Captivating 1970s Modern Italian Glass Round Centerpiece / Charger Plate This vintage round glass centerpiece, dating from the 1970s beautifully embodies the innovative and artistic spirit of Italian modern glasswork from the era, offering a blend of functionality and decorative appeal. The centerpiece features a unique and mesmerizing "tortoise shell" pattern, with rich brown and amber tones dappled across a lighter, translucent base. This organic, mottled effect is achieved through expert glassmaking techniques, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. The glass itself possesses a substantial weight and a luxurious feel, indicative of high-quality craftsmanship. Its grand circular form, with a slightly raised central well, makes it incredibly versatile. It can serve as a stunning centerpiece on a dining table, holding candles, fruits, or decorative objects. Alternatively, it can function as a dramatic charger plate, elevating your place settings for a truly special dining experience. Excellent vintage condition. Minimal signs of age or use consistent with a well-cared-for vintage item. No chips, cracks, or significant imperfections.
