This striking and luminous vintage art glass hails from the world-renowned high quality glass hub of the world: Murano, Italy!
This piece of Venetian glass was designed and handmade in the 1960’s after being created by one of the most well known and most highly regarded designers of Murano glass at that time, Valter Rossi. Commonly used as either a candy dish or an ashtray, Rossi incorporated real silver Argento into these pieces of glass. One feature of a lot of authentic Murano art glass is the use of semiprecious metals being incorporated into the coloring and interior of the glass. Rossi chose to pair the silver Argento with a richly beautiful green, letting the silver sort of pepper the backing on the front side of the dish. On the backside, the inverse of this pairing was used, using an all silver backdrop, and allowing the green to shine through in lateral waves.
The rolled edges of the glass are really the defining characteristic of this design, which allowed it to have more than one potential function, in addition to making it an attention grabbing piece. less
