Important Napoleone Martinuzzi Scavo Vase for Cenedese

About the Item

In the 50's, late in his legendary career, Martinuzzi executed for Cenedese a wall of beautiful Scavo vignettes illustrating Genesis. These eventually became the sought after sconces and lights. At the same time a small group of very large Scavo vases were executed-our offering being one of those rare and beautiful vases. This piece must be 'white gloved' only.

Measures: Height: 9.06" (23 cm) Diameter: 6.3" (16 cm) Napoleone Martinuzzi (1892 -1977) was an Italian sculptor and designer who left his mark on Italian glass art in particular. As graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, he worked with Ca' Pesaro artists and exhibited at Ca' Pesaro in 1908. In the 1920s he was appointed as Director of the Murano glass Museum. In 1925 he founded Venini & Co. with Paolo Venini and others, of which he took over the artistic direction. For Venini he created stunning creations in soffiato, opaque and pulegoso glass that received international recognition with many awards. His creations of animals, fruits and succulent plants gained international success too. The Cenedese Glassworks , Seguso Vetro d'Arte and Pauly & Co were his last creative stations.
