Large Signed Alfredo Barbini Scavo Glass Bowl 1970s Blue White and Amethyst

About the Item

Superb large example of Barbini 'Scavo' glass. Amethyst glass with cobalt blue highlights. Wonderful markings, colours and proportions. Signature to base. One of the largest sizes. Barbini's Scavo works are among our favourite Italian glass designs. If you haven't tried it already, a grouping of Barbini's Scavo vessels together is mind-blowingly good. The earthy aesthetic! Glass explored in new, raw and honest ways! Bravo Barbini! Things that make us love this bowl: the crystalline detail of the finish; the squat but elegant shape; the colours bleeding organically; the deep cobalt blue touches.
