Italian Murano Glass Centerpiece Cup by Paolo Venini

About the Item

Murano Glass Centerpiece Cup by Paolo Venini. Signed under the base and with original label. Biography Paolo Venini was an Italian glass designer, important for his propagation of Murano glass and 20th-century glassware design. Born in 1895 in Cusano near Milan, Italy, Venini's career began when he went into business with Giacomo Cappellin, with whom he opened a glass factory on the Murano islands in Venice in 1921. Recognized for introducing new, modern, conceptual designs, Murano glass continued to be a moving force in glass manufacturing throughout a large portion of the 20th century, Venini himself contributing to several characteristic works, including the fazzoletto series. Following a dispute with co-founder Cappellin, Venini took sole control of the company in 1925, which continued to be a family company after his death in 1959 in Venice, Italy.
