ITALIAN SILVER AMPHORA-FORM VASE , 20TH CENTURY

An Italian silver vase executed in a classical amphora form, representing a refined example of Italian decorative arts of the 20th century. The elongated body is articulated with pronounced vertical fluting, enhancing the elegance of the silhouette and creating a dynamic play of light across the surface. The flared neck with a softly undulating rim transitions harmoniously into the rounded shoulder, preserving architectural clarity and balanced proportions.

The vase is fitted with two symmetrically placed foliate handles, modelled as stylised vegetal scrolls with careful detailing and restrained plasticity. The base is formed as a circular foot with radiating fluting, echoing the decoration of the body and providing visual stability. The silver surface displays a soft, noble sheen with a natural patina characteristic of Italian artistic silver of the 20th century.

Crafted in silver of 800 standard, in accordance with Italian and European assay traditions, the vase was conceived primarily as an interior decorative object. Such pieces were intended either as standalone sculptural accents or as vessels for floral and decorative arrangements, reflecting refined taste and social status.
