Brutalist Textured Glass Decanter by Wayne Husted for Stelvia, Italy 1960s

About the Item

This Brutalist Mid Century pressed glass bottle by Wayne Husted for Stelvia, crafted in the 1960s and marked "Made in Italy," is a striking example of mid-century modern design. Husted, renowned for his innovative and artistic approach to glassware, has created a piece that embodies the raw, rugged aesthetic typical of the Brutalist movement. The bottle's form is both bold and geometric, with an angular silhouette that captures the essence of Brutalism's architectural roots. The glass itself is thick and heavy, lending a substantial feel to the piece. Its surface is textured with intricate, irregular patterns that mimic natural forms, creating a tactile experience that invites closer inspection. These textures also play with light, casting interesting shadows and highlights that enhance the visual complexity of the bottle. The deep, rich color of the glass, a smoky amber, adds to its dramatic presence. This hue not only reflects the era's preference for earth tones but also complements the bottle's rugged, unrefined look. The stopper of the bottle is simple and functional, yet it harmonizes perfectly with the overall design, ensuring that the piece is as practical as it is beautiful. Wayne Husted's signature design philosophy is evident in the bottle's harmonious blend of form and function. Despite its Brutalist appearance, the bottle is meticulously crafted, with every detail thoughtfully executed. The mark "Made in Italy" signifies not only its place of origin but also hints at the high level of craftsmanship associated with Italian glassmaking traditions.
