About the Item
A stunning and rare pair of flower vases carved entirely from Pavonazzetto marble, a richly veined Italian stone admired since Roman times for its luminous contrast of ivory, amber, and inky black veining. Made in Italy in the 1940s, these pieces exemplify a moment in decorative arts when timeless material met modern form.
Entirely hand-sculpted and polished, the vases reveal a profound attention to proportion, surface, and texture. Their slender, cylindrical bodies rest atop gently flared bases, giving them a weightless elegance that contrasts with the solidity of the stone. The natural veining of the Pavonazzetto marble is spectacular: expressive and organic, yet refined — each piece unique in its patterning, like a frozen river of mineral pigment.
These vases are not only beautiful but rare survivors of an era of refined artisanal production. The surface shows a soft, lived patina that enriches the marble’s character, imbuing it with both warmth and history.
In excellent vintage condition, this pair represents a collector’s gem — perfect as decorative accents, vessels, or standalone sculptures.
