This lush and Modern italian vanity set captures the essence of the remarkable Murano glass artistry. Comprising a atomizer, a perfume bottle with stopper and two powder boxes with lid crowned by stylized glass leaves, this ensemble exemplifies a dynamic fusion of turquoise, cobalt blue, and emerald green lines.
It's crafted through the 'canne' technique which involves grouping and melting bars of vividly colored glass, then stretching and manipulating the composite form to create intricate linear patterns that resemble brushstrokes trapped within transparent walls. The organic motifs epitomize the 20th century avant-garde aesthetic, while the original functionality of the containers underscores the versatility of Murano glass craftsmanship. Below the base, it can be found a label containing the manufacturer's information and the place of origin.
The set distills the bold and refined spirit of 1980s italian design through masterful material synthesis. It presents a captivating display of technical virtuosity and artistic vision, blending the functional with the purely decorative in fresh, vibrant, and timeless pieces.
Vetreria Artistica La Fenice, based in Murano, Italy, specializes in handcrafted glass pieces. Founded around 1976 by Alessandro Albertini, it is renowned for employing the 'canne' technique in crafting glass objects. less
