About the Item

Murano Glass Bullicante Shell Bowl by Archimede Seguso. UPDATE: Due to agreement with 1stDibs, we'll be staying through the end of the year. This lovely mid-century modern work is in very nice vintage condition! These little shell bowls are beloved for the precision (and shape) of the bubbles and their controlled bubble pattern. The very petite piece measures about 3.5 x 3 x 1.5 inches. We found no cracks or chips. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOLLOWS; PLEASE READ THE BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY. ABOUT OUR LISTINGS: -Most vintage Murano glass is unsigned and unlabeled (see more about this topic below, under the "about vintage Murano glass" section). We identify items as best we can based on our research and experience, but without signature, identifying label, or other documentation, it is ultimately not possible to guarantee an item is from Murano or is by a specific Murano glass maestro. By purchasing from our shop, you are agreeing to accept this fact. If you are uncomfortable with this policy, we ask that you purchase only items that have their original label, artist signature, or other documentation. -Measurements are approximate and generally represent the approximate widest/longest/highest areas of each item. -Please be aware that the color on your monitor and/or in your environment may look somewhat different than in ours and that glass colors often look deeper on dark backgrounds than they do on light backgrounds. -Please keep in mind that vintage glass usually will show evidence of previous ownership, such as scuffing, scratching, and/or other wear such as dulling or mars on base, etc.. Buyers of vintage glass are presumed to understand and accept such hints of previous ownership. We cannot realistically guarantee perfection since vintage glass has typically been used at some point in the past. We do however inspect for and describe flaws found. ABOUT VINTAGE MURANO GLASS: -"Murano" is not a brand. It is the name of the Italian island where the most celebrated master glassblowers create(d) their works. -Vintage Murano glass items may be heavy or light, thick or thin, substantial or petite, etc. Thickness and thinness of glass will tend to vary on some items, especially sculptural items. -Sometimes, small inclusions may be found in or on Murano glass, such as ash or tiny bubbles from the blowing process or tiny raised or pitted areas. These are not considered "damage" but naturally occurring. Nevertheless we point them out if found. -While on occasion a vintage Murano glass item will bear the signature of its creator or have an original label affixed, this is relatively rare; most vintage Murano glass available to the general public is unsigned / unlabeled, especially in the more affordable price ranges. -The bases of Murano glass items are often polished, but not always; the glassblower may have decided not to grind a pontil mark down or highly polish a base if there seemed a risk that doing so could cause damage to the item. -A pontil mark on a Murano glass piece may be visible or not, and may be smooth, rough, raised, indented, or some combination of these. Some finer, more delicate Murano glass items may have a rough pontil mark that may also be either raised or indented, with the rest of the base not. --However, an unpolished base that is also entirely, extremely foggy and rough (as if the entire bottom were grinded with very course sandpaper or metal) is generally considered indicative of a non-Murano work. ABOUT THE TERMS WE USE: "Suspected" means just that -- we suspect the item is by the named artist / from the named region due to its similarities to other items from that artist / region, and sometimes also by the lack of the item's characteristics appearing in other artists' works, but we are not certain. "Assumed" or "likely" means we feel pretty confident it is by the named artist / from the named region but have not found sufficient documentation to confirm it, so while we believe it to be as stated, we are not absolutely certain. "In the style of" means that based on characteristics, we believe it could be by the named artist / from the named region but we could not find sufficient enough evidence to feel comfortable declaring that definitively. In such cases the item could also be by another glassblower (from Murano or otherwise) who was inspired by the named artist. It takes time and study to train the eye to recognize what is and is not Murano-made. While no one is perfect, we feel we're fairly good at it and will state, using terminology explained above for clarification, if we do not feel reasonably certain. However much knowledge may be accrued, no one dealer is likely to know absolutely everything. Since we do not offer returns, please message us with concerns or questions if you have any before purchasing an item. We'll be pleased to respond. #archimedeSeguso #shellbowl #bullicante #Bowls #MuranoGlassware #Decor #naturalworld #mcm #midcenturymodern #VESSELS

Archimede Seguso

Archimede Seguso redefined a 650-year family history of Murano glass-making with brilliance and novel techniques, elevating him to an exemplar for the maestros of his time as well as for future generations of glassmakers. This next generation included his sons and grandsons, who carried on and further expanded the family legacy of Venetian art glass. The survival and revival of traditional glassblowing combined with unique design are the legacies left behind by a master.

Seguso grew up in the family furnaces of the Soffieria Barovier Seguso and Ferro, where his training began at age 11. By the time he turned 20, he was a maestro in his own right, joining the family business as a partner.

In 1933 the company changed its name to Seguso Vetri D’Arte, and Seguso gained sole control. He collaborated with designers Flavio Poli and Vittorio Zecchin, which allowed him to achieve artistic sovereignty leading to the opening in 1946 of his own furnace, Vetreria Seguso Archimede. There, he could explore his design ideas with creative freedom. In 2007, the 23rd generation of Seguso glassmakers took the lead at Seguso Vetri D’Arte. Brothers Gianluca, Pierpaolo and Gianandrea Seguso carry a six-century dynasty of Seguso glass into the 21st century.

Archimede Seguso’s art glass pays homage to tradition. Seguso studied and mastered techniques from centuries past, but he also pioneered innovative approaches, such as submersion and unconventional color constitutions. He awarded future generations with stunning and unprecedented effects, such as ribbed textures, rings, needle shapes and the appearance of embedded objects.

A lifetime of achievement created by Seguso is honored in museums worldwide, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, MoMA in New York and Museum Kunstpalast in Dusseldorf, to name a few. His exhibit resume spans decades, beginning with XX Biennale, Venezia, in 1936. It includes a 1989 exhibit of “Il Maestro dei Maestri” at Tiffany & Co., New York, and 2013 exhibitions at Musée Maillol in Paris and Museo della Basilica di San Marco in Venice.

On 1stDibs, find vintage Archimede Seguso glass, decorative objects, lighting and mirrors alongside a collection from his brother Angelo Seguso and his grandsons’ firm Seguso Viro.
