Mid-Century Modernist Amber Hand-Blown Murano Glass Dish w/ Bullicante Detailing

About the Item

This elegant and sculptural Mid-Century Modernist Hand-Blown Murano Glass Dish with Bullicante Detailing in Amber originates from Italy, Circa 1950. Features an hourglass silhouette when viewed from above achieved by two subtle lips drawn towards the center of the piece on either elongated side, creating a wave like interior surface which beautifully displays the precision of the bullicante detailing of the vase, a technique involving the regular spacing of miniscule bubbles captured within the body of the glass. Highly elegant and with precise detailing that rewards longer viewing and appreciation, this is an excellent example of the material and aesthetic sensibilities of Mid-Century Modernist glass work. The amber glass beautifully absorbs and diffuses the surrounding light, adding a warm hue and styling beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition. Italy, circa 1950 Dimensions: Height: 2.25" x Diameter: 6"

  • Mid-Century Galliano Ferro Amber Murano Glass Bullicante Decorative Bowl, 1960s
    By Galliano Ferro
    Located in Roma, IT
    Spectacular mid-century decorative bowl in amber Murano glass with air bubbles (bullicante). This wonderful piece was produced in Italy in the 1960s and is attributed to Galliano Ferro. This piece is unique for the elegant mix of peculiar "bullicante" technique to shape Murano glass: the "bullicante" effect is one of the most famous glass working techniques and is seen quite often around the island of Murano. This particular effect is achieved by inserting a piece of molten glass inside a metal mold with spikes, very similar to the texture of a pineapple. These spikes make small holes in the surface creating a pattern all around the piece of glass. After it has been allowed to cool for a few moments, the whole piece is immersed again in the molten glass. This second layer completely covers the first. However, thanks to the thick consistency of the glass, the holes previously impressed on the first layer are not covered, thus causing air to be trapped between the two layers of glass. This process can be repeated several times, creating a pattern as complicated as the master glassmaker wishes. This technique not only gives a sense of depth to the whole object but also an incomparable decorative effect, famous for its originality. This decorative piece can also be used as an ashtray and spruce up a mid-century style living room. Measurements (cm): Diameter - 14 Height - 11 Galliano Ferro formed his own glass factory in 1955 after leaving Arte Vetraria Muranese, or AVeM (A.Ve.M.), which he co-founded in 1932. Designers at Galliano Ferro include his son Giorgio Ferro, Ezio Rizzetto, Fulvio Bianconi and Vinicio Vianello. Giorgio Ferro became head of the company in 1972. British importers Jaffe Rose...
