Scelto da Fornasetti · Frosted Glass Hand Vase
Italy · selected for Fornasetti stores, 1970s–early 1980s · frosted glass
A sculptural hand-shaped vase in satin-frosted glass, selected by Piero Fornasetti for sale through one of the Fornasetti ateliers and stores between the 1970s and early 1980s. The original “Scelto da Fornasetti” designation and Fornasetti Milano – Made in Italy label record this commercial history. The vase was not designed or made by Fornasetti: it was an object he appreciated and chose to offer through his retail selection.
The designation “Scelto da Fornasetti” refers to the vase’s place in the Fornasetti retail selection, not to authorship or manufacture. The Fornasetti maison confirmed in written correspondence dated 12 October 2026 that selected objects of this kind were sold through its atelier and stores during the late 1970s and 1980s. The original label on the vase reads “Fornasetti Milano – Made in Italy”. The vase’s maker has not been identified.
