Murano Glass Fountain by Gino Cenedese
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Limited edition Murano glass fountain by Gino Cenedese, with original sticker, circa 1940s.
Please see attached sticker that shows this piece was number 9, a very rare and limited edition.
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 big advantage to pâte de verre is that it allows for precise placement of particular glass colors in the mold. pâte de verre dates back to the ancient Egyptians, but it really came into its own about a century ago when it was revived by a group of French artists who gave this warm glass technique its current name.)
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...

Vintage, New and Antique Fountains for Your Home and Garden
Adding antique and vintage fountains to your home and garden is a great way to accentuate your interiors or landscape design as well as reap the benefits of the calming sound of flowing water.
The design of your outdoor fountain — or the indoor fountain you’ve introduced to your parlor — is going to determine how the water flows into its basin. Whether your new addition is a simple bowl-shaped design, an elaborate wall-mounted Art Deco fountain or a classical tiered tower boasting decoratively carved floral motifs, this will determine the movement of the feature’s water as well as the sounds it makes. If you’re looking to ensure that there is steadily bubbling water, a slow trickle, a waterfall or cascading sheets of water, you’ll want to think about the architecture of your fountain.
Interior and exterior fountains are made from a variety of materials. Cast concrete lends a classical look to your outdoor fountain. Limestone, a component of concrete, is a dense rock with a creamy white finish that calls to mind classical sculptures. If you’ve already adorned your garden or patio and firepit area with Roman statues, this will feel cohesive in your outdoor space. While limestone fountains are low maintenance, these features will require upkeep. A limestone fountain will need to be cleaned out and undergo a water change on occasion — at least every two to four months — in order to prevent algae growth as well as the smell that might accompany it.
Glazed ceramic fountains, which also warrant regular cleaning to reduce buildup of debris and mineral deposits, will add a splash of color to your garden or entryway. A Spanish or Italian fountain adorned with vibrant ornamental tiles will pop against your shrubbery and concrete planters. Lightweight options for outdoor fountains can be found in fiberglass and cast iron if stone seems too heavy for your taste.
By the 19th century, Victorians realized there were health benefits to fountains. The sound of running water can help create a harmonious and soothing environment in your well-appointed outdoor oasis or inviting foyer, and today, we could all use a little relaxation.
It’s time to harness the calming properties of gently flowing water. You will love the serenity that a vintage, new or antique fountain from 1stDibs can add to your home and garden.
