About the Item

This Black Glass Vase with Gold Flakes is a masterpiece that effortlessly blends luxurious opulence with sophisticated modernity, evoking the essence of timeless design. Inspired by the innovative spirit of Napoleone Martinuzzi, this vase is not merely an object but a statement piece that transforms any space it occupies. Martinuzzi’s fascination with materiality and form is evident here, where the deep, glossy black glass envelops the room in a mysterious aura, while the gold flakes within dance like flecks of light, adding an understated grandeur. The contrast between the sleek, dark body of the vase and the shimmering gold is a study in balance, showcasing Martinuzzi’s mastery of refined aesthetics. Each vase is carefully crafted, with the gold flakes suspended in the glass like fragments of the stars, giving it a dynamic yet serene quality. It is a celebration of craftsmanship, where the industrial and the artistic converge. For the discerning collector or design enthusiast, this vase represents more than just decoration. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Italian art glass, an object that will elevate any interior, from contemporary to classic, while making an unforgettable impression with its quiet elegance and refined beauty.
