Vanità #03 - Façon De Venise

Vanità #03 - Façon De Venise

Goblet, colorless glass, flared rim, stem with wings and light blue tooled decoration, realistic fly applied.

"Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas", vanity that masks that transience of life. The precarious nature of existence, the relentless passing of time, takes shape in these sophisticated glass objects, reminding us of the "l'infinita vanità del tutto*" (infinite vanity of the whole).

*"A se stesso"", XXVIII canto "Amore e Morte" by Giacomo Leopardi
