Black swirls on background of burnt orange glass form this letter holder from a desk set series produced by Salviati in the late 1970's. The piece stands 4 inches (10 cm) tall, 6 inches (15 cm) wide, and is 3 inches (7.6 cm) deep. There is a small, less than 1/8 inch (.3 cm), flake on the edge of the piece, but otherwise in fine condition. Circa 1975

The sophisticated designer arrangement of murrine in this paperweight is notable. The leaf murrine can be found in other Toso paperweights. The green center of the flower murrine is nicely tied in to the leaf motif. The murrine are cased in crystal and this lattice type layer of murrine gives the weight a nice airy quality. Measuring 3.75 dia. x 2.75"h., the paperweight is in excellent condition, unmarked.

RARE Early VENETIAN 3 Fish Decoration Art Glass SOFFIATI Vase!!! Believe it is a SALVIATI piece, from the early 1900s if not earlier!!! The fish are large ones, measuring about 5" long each. The vase itself is paneled, so even though it is rounded it gives the appearance it has sides to it. Personally i have never seen a similar piece, and neither have some of my Venetian collector friends...

It is notable that both front and back surfaces of this fine aquarium are ground flat and polished, providing a crisp view of the finely crafted fish. The polishing is a considerable amount of work not usually seen in most Murano glass aquariums. I'm not sure who made this, but the surface polishing, fine detail of the polychrome fish, and the inclusion of glass thread and real sand between the layers of glass clearly render this a unique creation...
