The Pulegoso finish is … more This exceptionally sized Pulegoso glass vase features four vertical Morise applications with 24K gold leaf inlays. The Pulegoso finish is made using traditional techniques, expertly executed to high standards. This ancient method involves adding copper particles to the glass, giving rise to the characteristic bubbles of Pulegoso glass. The term "Pulegoso" derives from the Venetian word "pulega", which means bubble. Copper also gives the vase a characteristic purple hue. Furthermore, a pattern of larger and more regular bubbles is imprinted inside the vase with the Balloton technique, creating a Bulicante effect. This adds an intriguing and unique play of transparent bubbles to the piece. While it seems likely that this vase was originally designed as a luxury ice bucket, given its massive size and similarity to other pieces in the collection, its use is versatile. This vase is rare and amazing. The entire collection presents typical characteristics of Barovier&Toso production. Although there are no definitive signatures or marks, it is reasonable to attribute this piece to the renowned Barovier&Toso. However, due to the absence of concrete evidence, the rating remains cautiously in the "attributed to this manufacturer" category. The vase is exceptional and its value reflects its beauty and impressive size. less
