1960s Italian Murano Dark Purple Clear Case Centrepiece Dish
About the Item
A 1960s Italian Murano dark purple clear case centrepiece dish in the shape reminiscent of a manta ray.
The island of Murano in Venice, Italy is renowned for its very long tradition of glass-making, which begun in 1291.
By the 20th century, Venetian glassmakers began to work collaboratively with artists and designers, elevating glassmaking as an art form. In the 1980s there was an influx of glassmakers creating unique art glass, as well as artists training in glassmaking specifically.
Some of the most notable names of the Venetian glassmakers include: Fratelli Toso, Ercole Barovier, Paolo Venini, Carlo Scarpa.
There are many different types of Murano glass depending on the technique used by the glassblower, such as cristallo glass, smelto (enamelled) glass, aventurine and sommerso glass.
