An impressive large-scale Italian art glass vase attributed to Marcello Pecchioli of Sesto Fiorentino, circa 1950s–1960s. The gracefully proportioned baluster-form vessel is crafted from clear vertically ribbed glass and finished with a wide, flared silver-washed metal collar.

Its central decorative band features intricate hand-applied silver ornamentation comprising scrolling foliage, stylized flowers, latticework and repeating geometric borders. The symmetrical Renaissance-inspired design reflects the richly decorative Florentine aesthetic associated with Pecchioli’s workshop, which specialized in embellishing glass and porcelain with precious-metal decoration.

Standing 13 inches high and weighing more than 1.5 kilograms, the vase has a substantial presence suitable for a console, mantel, dining table or collected Italian-glass display. The collar bears a small, partially legible impressed Italy mark.

The attribution to Marcello Pecchioli is based on the vase’s glass form, dimensions, materials and close stylistic relationship to documented examples. No original label remains.
