About the Item

Elegant oval beveled glass tray, engraved and painted on the back. The decoration, executed with gold and polychrome enamels, depicts three stylized vases enriched with geometric and figurative motifs. A geometrically patterned frame harmoniously frames the composition, lending balance and sophistication to the overall design. This exquisite object is the work of master engraver and cutter Erwin Walter Burger, a leading figure in 20th-century Italian glass art. After a long collaboration with Fontana Arte, Burger embarked on an independent activity from 1945, signing works of great aesthetic and technical value such as this one.
