Egizia Italian Art Glass Vase – “Omaggio a Frank Lloyd Wright” (Tree of Life Motif). An exceptionally rare acquisition for the serious collector of architectural design and fine Italian art glass, this 12-inch cylinder vase from the 1997 Omaggio a Frank Lloyd Wright collection by Egizia S. Represents the elusive, premier scale in the highly coveted Tree of Life motif. Unlike common mass-market giftware produced on flared or pedestal blanks, Egizia crafted this piece as a sleek, straight-walled architectural cylinder anchored by a heavy disc base. This pure vertical form directly honors Wright’s Prairie School ethos, mirroring the structural grid and casement proportions of his iconic 1904 “Tree of Life” stained glass window for the Darwin D. Martin House in Buffalo, New York. The body showcases brilliant silk-screened enamel line work in purple, pale yellow-green, and rich gold-leaf accents set against a frosted field, finished with a clear lower window that reveals a solid yellow glass cabochon embedded in the base. Top Opening Diameter : 2 inches. Base Diameter : 3 inches. Overall : Excellent, vintage condition. Enamel & Gold Leaf : Crisp, vibrant, and fully intact with no fading, scuffs, or loss to the metallic gold leafing. Glass Structure : Absolutely clean. Free of chips, cracks, flea bites, or rim flakes along both the top lip and heavy clear base. Marked near the base edge in metallic gold enamel: OMAGGIO A FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT. An essential addition for collectors of mid-century modern design, Prairie School architecture, or fine Italian art glass.
