Alfredo Barbini Murano Art Glass Vase 1971 A vintage Murano glass vase designed and produced by Alfredo Barbini in 1971. The vase is made of mouth-blown clear glass and has a quadruple opening. Signed on the base with engraved company signature 'A. Barbini' and company label. The vase is an authentic piece of 20th century Murano art glass and a rare work by Alfredo Barbini. Alfredo Barbini (1912 – 2007) attended to the Abate Zanetti glass design school at the age of ten and worked at the S.A.I.A.R. Ferro Toso, Cristalleria di Murano and at the Zecchin-Martinuzzi furnace. In the early 1930s he became master craftsman at V.A.M.S.A. He executed works designed by the painter Luigi Scarpa Croce, such as the dish with fishes exhibited at the 1942 Biennale di Venezia. In 1946 he moved to Gino Cenedese & C as partner and director. At the 1948 Biennale, he exhibited an outstanding series of sculptures with the surface corroded with acid: “Collasso”, “Putto”, “Diana Nera”. In 1950 he started his own glass workshop the Vetreria Alfredo Barbini. Several works of Barbini are of outstanding importance for the muranese glass art as there are the Sasso, Scavo, Inciso, Sommerso or the Ad Agnelli objects. artfour is an owner-managed trading company dealing with fancy pieces of Murano and Scandinavian art glass.

Murano hand blown Italian art glass bird sculpture or figurine features a minimal, restrained palette of dark red and off-white with delicate gold lead, or aventurine, accents. The colored glass is encased in a layer clear glass in sommerso technique, adding depth and complexity to the piece. The bird is sitting on sculptural, rounded base, done in clear glass with gold flecks, elevating it without adding a visually heavy element. The main color is referred to as "Ruby Red" in Weil's catalogue of Alfredo Barbini Murano glass. The piece is marked with the original gold & red oval scalloped foil label, “Venetian - Made by Alfredo Barbini for Weil Ceramics and Glass - Murano Italy”, that was in use in 1960s. It is in very good vintage condition, and is ready to be displayed; it would make a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast and a great display piece on a shelf or a table, and make a perfect addition to a wide range of interiors, from Traditional to Mid Century Modern, Transitional, Collected, or Contemporary.
