Vintage Arnolfo di Cambio Alexandrite Glass Coupe | 1970s Italian Neodymium Art Glass

This rare 1970s Arnolfo di Cambio Alexandrite Glass Coupe captures the essence of Italian mid-century design - elegant, sculptural, and quietly radiant. Handcrafted in Tuscany from neodymium-infused Alexandrite glass, it transforms from soft lavender to cool blue depending on the light, a living testament to the innovation and artistry that defined the post-war Italian aesthetic.

The Arnolfo di Cambio Signature
Founded in Colle di Val d’Elsa, Arnolfo di Cambio became known for glass that blurred the line between object and emotion. This coupe, balanced on a cylindrical stem with a single suspended air bubble, embodies that philosophy. Its form is minimalist, but its presence is magnetic.
