Seguso Murano Millefiori Flower Canes Italian Art Glass Incalmo Orange Rim Bowl

About the Item

Beautiful and rare, vintage Murano hand blown Millefiori flower canes and orange "Incalmo" rim Italian art glass bowl. The piece is documented to designer Archimede Seguso. I have owned others with his label. The bowl has an applied orange glass rim, placed on top of the clear bottom that is filled with cut canes. There is also a decorative indent to the rim, making it easy to hold with your hand. The flower canes inside it have very intricate designs and pattern combinations. Many of them have more than 4 glass layers in different colors in order to make the designs. There are white, blue, red, pink, teal, yellow, and green colors within them. Would make a great display piece on any vanity, desk or coffee table. Use it as a catchall, candy dish or ashtray. Mid-century era. Measures 5 1/2" long x 4 3/4" wide x 2 3/8" high.

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.
