Glass Bowl by Barbini

About the Item

Black glass bowl using the Scavo technique. The Scavo technique was introduced in the 1950s by Alfredo Barbini and was designed to imitate the effect caused by long periods spent underground, typical of glass objects found during archaeological digs. During manufacture a mixture of powders is dispensed on the surface of the object at a temperature of 800C. These adhere and give an effect of both opaqueness and colouring. The piece is then heated again to enhance the effect. Literature: Murano 900 by Franco Deboni.
