Alberto Donà, Tall Feather Vase, Black Green Filigree over Terracotta Background
About the Item
Tall vase by Alberto Donà. Feather fenicio effect over crossing striping of two colors. Rare, since most have two colors, not three.
Tall teardrop vase from Alberto Donà. This vase is created with a technique of striping spirals of glass with side pontil passages to create a web-like design. A few Fenicio strokes to create the feather effect. This requires high temperature glass coating and just a handful of maestros can reach this dimension.
Base and other identifications and references: No label. No signature on the base. Manufacturing quality and kind of glass and materials used identify the maker as Alberto Donà with no doubt.
Evaluation assessment: This is a three color technique; the other vases from Alberto Dona mostly use a two color technique. The black (nero smalto) striping has some flaws, a few on the front part and more on the back.

- Murano Glass Mezza Filgrana, Green Amethyst Clear with Gold Leaf, Cenedese AttrBy Carlo Scarpa, CenedeseLocated in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, FlorenceGreat color combination. The filigree/filigrana glass is a cane with a color inside. Usually clear on the outside with a core in colored or opaque glass. Most used are white or black filigrana. This is a self-made filigrana as there is a green coating over an Amethyst core, making the Amethyst almost a dark bronze color. The other cane is clear with amethyst. The twisting (mena in muranese, or ritorto) makes a lay with the back of the vase almost as it is a reticello (once called filigrana, so that explains the term mezza filigrana). The special color combination was then rolled over pure gold leaf, highlighted with the iridescence smoke and then covered with another layer of high temperature glass to make the gold vivid. The vase is quite large and carries a squared mouth, in a way of Carlo Scarpa mezza filigrana vases...Category
