Clocktower Shadow Glass Bud Vase
Blown or molded glass gives this bud vase a narrow form for a single stem, decorated with a clocktower shadow motif. In Rome, the image belongs to a city of sundials, bell towers, and layered stone silhouettes, while glass vases remain familiar objects in Italian home décor.
