One of the most delightful glass houses on the Venetian island of Murano is Vetreria Artistica La Fenice di Albertini, established by Gianfranco Albertini in 1976. Among La Fenice’s charming creations for modern-day Grand Tour travellers is a series of tabletop accent pieces featuring dolphins, one of the symbols of Venice, inspired by 18th-century precedents. Such as this pristine vintage pair (one shown) of mouth-blown candlesticks, wherein
green glass — suggestive of the jadeite waters of the Grand Canal — meets the gold-dust inclusions known as aventurine. That would be a dolphin in art-historical terms, by the way, the ocean-going mammal being a popular motif in the decorative arts and architecture since classical times, associated — logically enough, for Venice — the sea. less
