About the Item
Amazing pair of Murano bookends by Cenedese circa 1950’s. Bookends retain an original label dating them to the 1950’s. Thick Vaseline glass with applied elephants.
At the end of World War II, in 1946, after being tutored by various glass masters, Mr. Gino Cenedese (1907-1973) – anticipating a brighter era to come – established his own glass factory in partnership with the great glass masters of the time: Alfredo Barbini, Gino Fort, Angelo Tosi and Pietro Scaramal.
Remained the sole owner after the rescission of his partners in 1949, Mr. Cenedese weaved together the thousand-year-old Venetian glass-making tradition with the creative course of the great masters of the eighteenth century, the destiny of being born on an island of glassmakers with the artistic sensitivity and the entrepreneurial courage, and the technical expertise with the vocation of excellence.
Under his management, the factory soon acquired international renown for its highly prized and exclusive glass, developing greatly and emerging as one of the most qualified of the whole island of Murano.
