About the Item

Corrado "Dino" Martens was a glass designer and painter. He visited many courses by Ettore Tito and Umberto Martina from 1908 to 1912 at the "Academy of Fine Arts." His work was already exhibited in 1911, but at that time he mainly painted and hadn't discovereed his talent in glass design yet. His development from a painter to an acknowleged glass designer was during his time in afrique, where he joined the Italian army. At his return in 1939 he became the cultural director of the glass factory from Aureliano Toso. He designed many different designs during 1946 to 1960 and got well known because of his contribution at many ehibitions, projects and the biennial. At that time the painter stepped into the background and the glass designer in Dino Martens got even more important. At 1959 he retired, but he still continued to produce designs until 1963 for the glass factory. Here we have a beautiful vase of the Oriente series, designed in 1950 circa by Dino Martens and produced by Toso. In very good condition, fully original and ready to be shipped. We recommend a wooden crate for shipping to prevent glass damage.
