17th Century Italian church vase decorated with fossil agate coral, red phantom quartz crystals, and chalcedony rosettes on polished agate base. This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic flooding of the Arno River in 1966. Fossil agate coral is mounted on top of the artifact. Fossil agate coral is Florida's state stone and is known for its unique formation that can take place over 20 million years. It's a natural gemstone that is created when prehistoric coral is gradually replaced with agate. It is adorned with coordinating red phantom crystals and chalcedony rosettes that resemble the color and texture of the piece. The piece has been naturally distressed from the flood. It has been preserved and transformed by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the Italian fragment is originally 17th century. The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments...

17th Century Southeast Asian Bronze Tobacco Pipe — Tay Nguyen Plateau, Vietnam A rare 17th-century bronze tobacco pipe unearthed in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, near the Cambodian border on the Tay Nguyen Plateau. Attributed to the Montagnard (Jarai) hill tribes, this piece dates to the 17th century or possibly earlier.

Its elegant, angular form reflects both indigenous craftsmanship and subtle Chinese design influences. The surface exhibits a rich, natural patina developed over centuries, enhancing its sculptural presence and authenticity. This artifact represents a transitional moment in Southeast Asian material culture — when traditional highland utility met emerging trade influences from neighboring regions. Mounted on a custom steel display base, it reads as both an archaeological relic and a minimalist bronze sculpture...
