Hard-to-find piece! Beautiful, heavy, Murano art glass bowl with three swimming iridescent fish and controlled bubbles. Unsigned, but attributed to Alfred Barbini possibly when he partnered with Gino Cenedese and Co. in 1946, but more likely created in the 1950s when he began Barbini Glassworks. Classic Barbini biomorphic, sculptural style reminiscent of his work with plasticity in glass
Born in 1912, on the islands of Murano in the lagoon of Venice, Italy, Alfredo Barbini was a glass artist and one of Murano's leading figures of the twentieth century. The Barbini family can be traced back to the 16th century of the Murano Glass industry. Known as a Venetian noble family and one of the best glass masters—whose guild received special permission to be in the Venice Golden Book—the Barbini family played active roles in Venice’s history in areas of politics, commerce, and various areas of glass production.
