This vase embodies the fluid silhouettes and clean forms that made Vetri Empoli an essential reference point in Italian decorative arts. Its versatile scale allows it to serve as a centerpiece on a dining table, console, or sideboard, while also complementing minimalist and modernist interiors. The understated colour palette and elegant contours make it equally suitable for bold contemporary spaces or classic mid-century collections.
