The vessel has a softly squared body, a tall tapering neck, a broad flared rim, and two symmetrical looping handles. Its saturated turquoise exterior is layered over a pale, milky interior, producing a luminous opalescent effect that changes with the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vase was formed by blowing and shaping molten glass; the underside retains a visible pontil-working trace, supporting hand production. Colored opaline and cased-glass vessels were an important part of Italian decorative-glass production during the postwar period. This example is linked to the Tuscan glassmaking tradition around Florence and Empoli, celebrated for expressive handblown vessels created for the modern home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe balanced double-handled profile recalls the classical amphora while translating it into a distinctly modern decorative form, effective on a console, dining table, mantel, or pedestal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good, light surface wear consistent with age; no chips or cracks visible; handmade variations inherent to production. Dimensions: 13 in H x 4.8 in W x 4.8 in D.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regiment of Love","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":50509888258287,"sku":"LU10969251320472","price":737.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/0613\/7327\/files\/IMG_6899_bg_processed.jpg?v=1786742434","url":"https:\/\/regimentoflove.com\/products\/mid-century-italian-turquoise-opaline-glass-vase-1950s-double-handled","provider":"Regiment of Love","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
