Here is a wonderful large and heavy 1950/60's organic bright orange cased glass vase with applied decoration. Made by by Vetreria Artigiana Sanminiatello (V.A.S.), a glass factory in Montelupo, a few km from Empoli. The same design and size, identified as shape number G/20S, is shown in a page of their factory catalogue, shared in a Facebook group post (membership needed to view). Very similar to designs by another Empoli factory called Cristalleria Fratelli Betti. Slightly rough remains of the pontil mark to the base (normal).

Measures approx 15.5 inches tall by 5 inches in diameter at widest point.

Condition

Excellent condition, no chips or cracks, just a slightly rough finish to the pontil mark on the base (perfectly normal).
