  • Murano Glass Fountain by Gino Cenedese
    By Gino Cenedese
    Located in Los Angeles, CA

Usually fountains were custom ordered and never made the same. Dimensions: Height 63" and diameter 27", each figure is approximately 9" high. The fountain depicts Bacchus (the Roman god of wine) at the top, and 4 Putti (angels) all made in iridescent glass, which is a rare type of Murano glass. The flowers (where the water flows from, a new pump required) are made in pâte de verre (pâte de verre involves making a paste of glass that is applied to the surface of the mold, then it is fired.

The pink top cup is pink transparent opaline glass. The lower inverted cup is silk with 24-karat gold infused. This is where the lights are located, rewiring required. 24-karat gold is also used on the main Bacchus figurine...
