Know before you buy
No. Because each vase is handcrafted by a master artisan using a fluid, sweeping motion, no two pieces are exactly alike. You may notice slight variations in the glass shape or finish, which are hallmarks of authentic, hand-blown artistry.
To maintain the polished finish, gently wipe the vase with a soft, lint-free cloth. If needed, use lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive soap, then dry immediately with a soft towel to prevent water spots.
Yes, the Fazzoletto is fully functional as a vase. However, due to its unique, sweeping shape, it is best suited for smaller arrangements or single stems that can be easily positioned within the urn-style opening.
Being part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection signifies that the Fazzoletto is recognized as a significant work of 20th-century design. It validates the vase not just as home decor, but as a piece of historical art.
As with all high-quality, hand-blown glass, the vase should be handled with care. While it is durable enough for display on a tabletop, it is intended for indoor use and should be placed on a stable surface away from high-traffic areas where it might be knocked over.
