We offer a pair of fabulous Alexandrite Glass Art Deco stylized ram figures ca 1960. Created, without doubt, by Archimede Seguso! The quality of the modeling is impeccable, and the color shading and light handling puts this pair of figures in another sphere! The pictures say it all. In 25 years of collecting and dealing in Murano glass, I've seen only one other of these, and that was in a magnificent private collection in New York. ...click for details

This page features a rare perfume bottle from the firm of Archimede Seguso in the 1950s or early 60s. This diminutive bottle is the first we’ve ever seen from the firm of A. Seguso with a corroso finish, and we’ve owned and seen hundreds! It was somewhat difficult to photograph, so we tried both light and dark backgrounds. It has a warm cranberry lining, with a clear casing that was then treated with the “rotten acid” or “corroso” finish, using hydrofluoric acid to etch the surface. A. Seguso ma ...click for details

This is an exceptional representation of a fox - "volpe" in Italian - most likely rendered by Archimede Seguso. While the colors are not typical of his figural works, the quality of the modeling is very strong.

This guy is made of an opalescent base glass, with chocolate brown accents. The opal fire shows well in the feet, ears and face. The overall effect is very striking. ...click for details

This item carries the label of the firm V.A.M., which was owned by Giovanni Pinzan, Bruno Cimarosti, and Giovanni Andreotta during the 1950s, and may have been made by Ermanno Nason, who was working there at that time. In any case, it is a fabulously conceived and fabricated piece of glass, with four layers of color, and all sides facet cut and polished. It is simply stunning!

The piece is huge at 14 ½” high x 3” square ...click for details

Sold! Thank You! 

We offer another one of the finest vases by Archimede Seguso that I’ve had the pleasure to own! We sold a similar vase in cranberry opaline recently through Trocadero. The Opalino series vases were designed and made by A. Seguso in 1955, and are featured in virtually every reference of his work. The essence of these vases lies in opalescent bodies, usually with fine sfumato gold, and clear encalmo-applied rims that were also fumed with gold. The one exception that I’m aware of is a peach opaline ...click for details

While it seems that Archimede Seguso never made large quantities of any color/shape combination, this is a set of shapes that were made in many different colors and techniques. This clear glass with gold sfumato set is likely the standard for items made in these molds. Over time we will be cataloging many other colors in these shapes. Take a look at our catalog item #00100 for the same forms in jade green and alabaster.

Sold! Thank You!  

This bottle is from the Polveri – or Powdered Glass – series done by Archimede Seguso in 1953 and 1954. The work is characterized by sfumato gold over a clear glass base, which was then sifted with colored glass powders, usually on one side of the piece, but occasionally in two alternating colors. Very striking, and in high demand among A. Seguso collectors.

This bottle is quite large and impressive, and the irregular s ...click for details

This item is sommerso perfume in orange glass, cased with neodymium alexandrite glass, a formula which produces color shifts in different light sources. In fluorescent lighting, as in these pictures, the casing is a light blue-gray. In tungsten or daylight conditions, it appears to be pink. It’s a very appealing combination of colors in a great shape. It carries a remnant of the label used by Seguso Vetri d’Arte in the 1950s or early 60s. ...click for details
