About the Item
17th century Italian 'Florence Fragment' church vase topped with preserved, naturally free-forming copper.
This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic Florence Flood of 1966. It is part of the The Florence Fragment Collection which exhibited with Museo de’ Medici in Florence, Italy this fall. This is a collection of historical fragment artifacts saved from the infamous Florence flooding of the Arno River in 1966 which was the worst flood the city had faced since the Renaissance.
There is still the original paint and silt left on the piece to uphold the integrity, craftsmanship, and history of sculptural fragment. The fragment has been preserved and transformed with the crystal and copper to create a sculptural work of art.
The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the piece and the period shows that the fragment is originally 18th century.
The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments, in particular, are very interesting. While many fragments are distressed due to age, these Florence fragments in particular stand apart. They symbolize a history that has been carried through the flood, to the Italian store house, collected by the Interi studio, shown in the museum, and now can be purchased for the modern home or gallery.

17th Century Italian 'Florence Fragment' Vase Mounted with Chalcedony Rosettes
By Interi
Located in Dublin, Dalkey
17th century Italian vase mounted and encrusted with chalcedony rosettes on a petrified wood base.
This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic Florence Flood of 1966. This was one of the worst floods recorded since the Renaissance and drew thousands of volunteers from all over the world to help save the city known for its precious history, artwork, artifacts, and rare books. The volunteers were called "the mud angels" because of the mud and silt left everything from the damage of the flood.
There is still the original paint and silt left on the piece to uphold the integrity, craftmanship, and history of sculptural fragment. The chalcedony rosettes perfectly emulate the color and texture of the piece.
