Marcello Giorgio Silver 925 Sculptural Vase

A truly exceptional piece of Italian decorative art — a sculptural vase designed and signed by Marcello Giorgio, Italy, silver-plated with 925 sterling silver, in very good condition with no damage and original signature intact. The form is completely organic and immediately arresting: a dense bundle of intertwined stems or reeds rises from the base, twisting gently as they climb, opening at the top into a burst of leaf and petal forms that fan outward like a flower caught at the moment of blooming. Every surface detail — the longitudinal grain of each stem, the curling edges of each leaf — has been executed with extraordinary precision and sensitivity. This is not a decorative object that happens to be silver; it is a sculpture that happens to hold flowers. The piece is signed on the body in Marcello Giorgio's characteristic italic script, with the maker's mark and Made in Italy stamp also present — full provenance for the serious collector. Objects of this quality and specificity rarely appear on the secondary market. Whether displayed alone as a sculptural centrepiece or used as intended with a single stem or branch, it commands attention in any setting. Height: 15 cm. Width: 12.5–13.5 cm.
