Description
A Bold Beauty to Behold from Stylish Ultra-mod 1950s Italy
This style of cane, murrine and metallic flecked decor is usually attributed to Dino Martens of Art Vetraris Muranese (A.VE.M). Murrine, also spelled Murrhine and Murrina, is a venetian style technique of imbedding colored cane sections into the glass before is is blown into a shape. Venetian glass, like Murano glass, is made in Italy. A.VE.M. saw it’s heyday in the 1940s-1950s. The company is no longer producing.
This awesome, quality glass was hand-blown and hand-folded. Triple cased. Dark green, internally decorated with earth-tone bits of colored canes and silver flecks, encased in opaque milk glass, and finished with a layer of crystal. Flat polished base. The clear layer is pulled out on the sides providing handles. The decor reminds us of prehistoric ocean organisms.
Big, beautiful and heavy. The bowl measures 9″ long, 9″ at widest and 3″ tall. It weighs 3.5 lbs.[color-box]More About Italian, Murano, Venetian Glass[/color-box]
