This decorative Murano glass bowl from the Archimede Seguso series 'Carnevale', produced, circa 1970s for Tiffany & Company, comes in deep cobalt, with unique cut outs in the glass which provide interest through positive and negative space. The signature [Archimede Seguso/Murano] is etched to the base. The bowl remains in pristine condition, and very substantial with a weight close to 8 lbs.
Seguso changed the industry of glass making with his bold and courageous inventions, full of creativity and elegance. He became known for his wide collection of animal figurines made of Alabastro Glass, Millefiori Glass, or featuring gold leaf decoration. Archimede dared defy and improve ancient glassmaking traditions by using incandescent glass and creating each piece by blowing into iron canes. He was a genius when it came to regulating colors and nuances by the thickness of the glass, and mixing materials and tools to create mind-blowing masterpieces. He managed tools and old techniques so well he created textures and illusions like no one else before him. He mixed gold dust and created “golden ivory”, “amber green spots” and “golden coral” works. No need to wonder why Murano Glass collectors all over the world covet his pieces at any cost. His secrets and know-how were shared with his sons when the eldest one, Gino Seguso, joined the atelier in 1959, followed by Giampaolo Seguso in 1964. This gave Archimede time to redirect his love of art to massive sculptures, taking them to exhibitions all around the world, from Palazzo Grassi in Venice to Tiffany & Co. in New York. less
