Italian Glass + Silver-Plate Vase by Lino Sabattini, 1970s
A rare Italian vase designed by Lino Sabattini, characterized by its striking interplay of materials and form. The cylindrical glass body is encased in two polished silver-plated metal semi-cylinders, which can be positioned in multiple configurations to create dynamic visual contrasts. Maker’s mark present on the underside.
Lino Sabattini was a leading figure in modern Italian silver and metalware design, known for his bold and diverse creations. Self-taught, he honed his skills in metalsmithing and learned about fluidity of form from the German ceramist Roland Hettner. At 30, Sabattini opened a studio in Milan, catching the attention of Gio Ponti, who featured his work in Domus magazine and helped launch his career.
This exposure led to his role as artistic director at Christofle, the renowned French silverware maker. Sabattini's designs, such as the elegant Como coffee service and the innovative Stairs tea set, showcase his ever-evolving aesthetic. His work remains a testament to his questing curiosity and creative brilliance.
