Murano, Italy, (signed V. Rigattieri 83)
Handmade, blown glass, 25 cm × 20 cm
Immaculate, unused condition.
A signed and dated rolling decanter by Vittorio Rigattieri, conceived as both pouring vessel and kinetic sculpture. Its gently curved base allows the vessel to rotate smoothly through a full arc while remaining perfectly balanced. At rest or in motion, the object possesses a quiet sculptural presence.
Executed in clear Murano glass, the design relies entirely on proportion, weight and geometry. The continuous curve serves both aesthetic and practical purposes, enabling gentle aeration while allowing the decanter to return naturally to its resting position. The shaped rim ensures controlled, precise pouring. Its engraved signature and date firmly place the piece within Rigattieri's own period of production.
Free from unnecessary ornament, the glass’s clarity draws attention to the elegance of the form itself. Functional without compromise, it reflects Rigattieri's late-modernist approach, where movement, utility and sculptural expression are held in careful balance.
