Barbini Murano Art Glass Cranberry Gold Urn Labels 60s

Huge, Sommerso, Mid-Century Barbini Glassworks Cranberry art glass Urn, Murano, Italy, documented in Pina's Italian Glass Century 20, and retaining two original labels. A gold foil label on the lid shows the Barbini piece was made for Weil Ceramics & Glass Inc. (New York), and the foot retains the original Barbini export label.

In the Renaissance style, the lidded urn is ribbed throughout in sommerso, cranberry glass, with a gold-included crystal disk knop sandwiched between the large, twisted finial and the ribbed lid. The bowl consists of three hollow, graduated turban-shapes, with an attached, very large, conical foot with thick folded rim. 13" tall (33.02 cm), 5.5" largest diameter (13.97 cm), 5" diameter foot (12.70 cm). Dull area at the upper pontil of the finial, could be a scrape, but probably original to manufacture; and a few tiny internal bubbles, normal in Murano glass. Excellent condition. c. 1960s. $22 US Shipping.
