Superb Murano glass figurines by Alfredo Barbini. A colleague in Venice who is a dealer in Vintage Murano Glass told me he witnessed these figurines being made at the Barbini factory in the 1950's. They are in good condition: the red coated Moor at 10" tall is in pristine condition and the white suited one at 13.5" has a repair at the rear neck area which is not so apparent. These are excellent examples of the skill and amazing prowess that the Muranese masters possess over this magical material. They were found in the basement of an estate that was being liquidated and are a rare find!

This attractive grouping of Murano glass vessels and lamp by Ercole Barovier should stay together and is available as a group at a reduced rate. If purchased as a group, the cost is $2300, realizing a saving of $1000 for the astute buyer. The Cordonato Oro design by Ercole Barovier was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1950, and in 1951, at the Angelicum in Milan. All four pieces are from a private collection and in good condition, showing minor wear at the bases commensurate with their age.

Like a Venice evening, this amazing murrine lamp rediates a soft, colorful ambiance when lit. The brass parts have a nice aged patina. The lamp had to be re-wired, as the original 90 year old vintage wire was frayed. Otherwise, the lamp remains in its original pristine condition and is an amazing example of the skill of the Murano Glassblowers. The lamp is documented in "Catalogo a stampa Fratelli Toso, 1920 ca",page 41.

Modern design vase with incisio carved surface ia a sommerso blend that transitions from cool green to a warm golden wheat color at the base.

The vase has a few minor scratches but otherwise in good condition and has a three-line acid stamp: Venini Murano Italia. 3.5"h x 8"dia

Slender and elegant vintage modern glass Nerox lamp by Ermanno Toso is constructed of cool blue and green opalino murrine. The colors remind me of the cool tones of the Venetian Lagoon which has inspired glass design in Murano for centuries. I've seem a pair of this design sell at auction for $9000.! The lamp measures 28.5" to top of glass and 40" to top of bulb socket, is in good condition, and would look great with a slender cylinder shaped shade.
