The Summer Olla Vase Large is Stories of Italy's most commanding centrepiece — the generous, amphora-proportioned Olla silhouette scaled to anchor a dining table. Blue, orange, and amber shards drift across an ivory crystal base, translating a full Mediterranean summer into handmade Italian blown glass.
Each shard is applied while the vase is still on the glassmaker's pipe in Murano, Venice — heated and fused into the ivory base by hand. The Nougat technique means the pattern is never predetermined: it emerges as the piece is shaped and rotated. Orange clusters unpredictably; amber pools at the shoulder; blue settles in drifts across the body. No two vases share the same map of colour.
Dubai's generous interiors — villa dining rooms, long HoReCa tables, hotel lobbies — call for objects that hold their own at distance. This one does. The Summer palette moves from cool blue through glowing amber to warm orange, tracking the arc of a Gulf evening in a way no printed surface can replicate.
Pair it with the Summer Tall Vase for a considered two-piece arrangement — dining-table centrepiece and vertical presence in the same seasonal palette, a display that reads as deliberate.

Artisanal hand-blown Murano glass, with natural variations in colour, bubbles and form that make each vase unique. It is decorative glass, sensitive to impact and sudden temperature changes, so it should be handled as a delicate statement piece.
Care: Hand-wash one piece at a time in lukewarm water with mild neutral soap, then pat dry immediately with a soft cloth; if used with flowers, change the water every one to two days and rinse before refilling.
Avoid: Sudden temperature changes, direct heat and prolonged direct sunlight; impact against hard surfaces; and washing multiple pieces together, which can chip the blown glass.
Suitable for: Console, sideboard or shelf display, formal indoor table settings and milestone gifting.
Mouth-blown in Murano by master artisans, these vases and lamps are built — not painted — with the Nougat technique: coloured glass shards fused onto an ivory crystal base while the piece is still on the pipe. Four shapes (Bucket, Olla, Tall and Large) carry seasonal palettes, jewel tones and botanical stories, with a 24-karat gold-leaf edition at the top of the range.
