Large Italian Scavo Corroso Aquamarine Glass Urn Vase

About the Item

Large Italian Scavo Corroso glass urn vase with 2 handles and gorgeous raised wave design surrounding the middle. Mesmerising to look at! This piece evokes the beautiful aquamarine sea, and is an Avalon favourite. Nice heavy weight to the piece. Scavo means 'dug up' and imitates ancient objects in the form and texture to those found in archaeological excavations. During manufacturing, a mixture of several powders (carbonates nitrates, talc, silica, etc.) is dispersed on the glass surface. Then the object is heated up to 800-Celsius degrees. This creates an effect of transparency and colour. A second heating creates a unique surface texture.

  • Seguso for Bisazza White Scavo Corroso Murano Glass Vase 1993 Signed
    By Livio Seguso, Bisazza Vetro
    Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
    Unique large scavo vase. Here Bisazza used a theme that was popular at the end of the 1980s, the native American art. In particular the Navaho pottery. Scavo is made using a scavo technique of adding minerals over the hot shaped glass and a corroso finish that is to add acid with sawdust, to stay in place. The combination is of a great antique texture. Vase Jug with two handles. 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. Bisazza, the famous luxury mosaic company, continued Seguso models for the first part of the 90s. Then closed the furnace and continued to focus with his mosaic collection. His masters, Elio Raffaelli...
