Roberto Camozzo for Wyland, Hunting Shark on a Base, Murano Glass 1990s, Signed

About the Item

When I saw these pieces I was so happy to have found them as I knew the history of these wonderful pieces very well. There are great maestros and artist from Murano, some are very well known Seguso, Barbini, Tagliapietra. Roberto Camozzo is instead one that very few know. He and his partner Elio Raffaelli were the silent right and left arm of Livio Seguso. They become independent after Bisazza took over the company. They continued the style and the massiccio (sculptural) glass tradition from their Livio Seguso experience and worked for many artists. It was at the turn of the Millennium that Oggetti was appointed by Wyland Galleries and Robert Wyland to make a collection of sculptures in Glass. I recall Roberto Camozzo and Elio Raffaelli making giant humpback whales with calf in the "First Breathe" based on Robert Wyland design. The artist view, attention to details and anatomy, ability in mastering the casing of colors generated probably the best marine collection in glass. Sharks were produced in Murano but were mostly diving or jumping dolphins with a shark face. These were on a total different field. Take a look at the finesse of this piece. The casing sommerso of deep amber with Bluino. How the bluino highlights the fins. A rare piece, see also the other, the tiger shark.

Livio Seguso for Bisazza, Massiccio Fish with Rainbow Canes 1993 Signed
By Livio Seguso, Bisazza Vetro
Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
Massiccio fish with the rainbow cane sequence of Livio Seguso. This sequence was used in several pieces, bowls to be highlighted with lens effect of the piece. The fish body acts like a magnifying lens and the colors are moving when looking at the piece. See the video. Part of Livio Seguso production made under Bisazza ownership for a small period of the early 1990s. Livio continued his artist career with the freedom and the free state of mind that came from not owning a company. Similar path of Luciano Vistosi.

Seguso for Bisazza Pair Mustard Murano Pulegoso Vase Gold Rim, 1993 Signed
By Seguso, Bisazza Vetro, Livio Seguso, Seguso Vetri d'Arte, Seguso & Cenadese
Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
Set of two splendid Pulegoso vase. One round and the other tall. The round is lighter and the tall darker tone of mustard. Perfectly executed Pulegoso finish. This is Murano Crucible Pulegoso. The mouth has a rim with external gold leaf difficult to notice because it does not contrast with the background. Just magnificent and rare set. At first I believed, because of the round shape, that Bisazza was dovetailing Carlo Scarpa original round shape from the 1930s. When I was able to see the pieces and see the year, then all came clear. In the second part of the 1980s there was a re-discover in Interior design of the Native American arts. In particular, the Navaho products. As Carlo Scarpa took his inspiration from Japanese shapes, here Bisazza translated in glass the Navaho pottery art. Here the reason for a hearty color, these orange toned Puligoso is part of the Seguso tradition. Colors that are not in high fashion. This collection belongs to the Livio Seguso production made under Bisazza ownership for a small period of the early 1990s. Livio continued his artist career with the freedom and the free state of mind that came from not owning a company. Similar path of Luciano Vistosi.
