About the Item
Please take the time to read the entire description, as we aim to provide detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items.
This is an original trio of porcelain hands, two white and one black, made between 1960 and 1965 in a specialized workshop in Milan. A mold was used to craft the terracotta hands, and artisans later applied a dipping technique to glaze them. The hands were then fired in a kiln to permanently set the glaze. This trio represents a minimalist and modern design inspired by the 1960s, a time when Italian art and design were heavily influenced by modernism and futuristic styles. As for their functionality, they may have been created as ring or jewelry holders, given the open-hand shape. The presence of a cavity in the palm might also suggest a decorative use, such as small vases. Another possibility is that they were simply meant as decorative pieces, typical of interior design from that era, when sculptural and surreal designs were highly popular. The items are in good condition. Measurements: 8 cm in diameter, 20 cm in height. For all our shipments, we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) to ensure the highest level of protection and safety for the objects.

Murano Glass Italian Empty Pockets (Tray) Round "Incamiciato"
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly suggest that you read the entire description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our objects.
Round Murano glass empty pockets (or tray); the design is essential but well-proportioned and elegant; pleasingly aesthetic is the effect of the two colors that artisans have managed to achieve with skill and mastery. This object was made by Murano masters using the technique of "incamiciatura," which consists of superimposing, as an initial process, on the glass mass that came out of the furnace, one or more successive layers of glass of different colors; in our object to the light blue, almost transparent glass mass, only the blue color was superimposed by immersing the white form just sketched in a crucible containing the blue molten glass. Then the Master glassmaker put the whole thing back in the furnace for a few minutes and then blew into the special barrel, helping himself with pliers and working it by hand he gave the pot emptier the desired shape shaping also the central decoration, even adding a thread of blue glass all along the edge, this operation was done flat, therefore much more difficult to make the two colors blend, the object was made entirely by hand and without the use of molds or models, thus creating a unique piece, just like a work of art. The earliest records of this technique concern Benedetto Barbaria, who in 1815 made "glass blown in two layers of enamel.". The object was created between 1970 and 1973 in Murano (Venice-Italy). As can be seen from the engraving on the rim, the pocket blank is a limited edition item; it is No. 34 of 150 pieces made, which, being all handmade, show differences from one another. Unfortunately, we cannot decipher the name of the design that created it for the Murano company Effe Due...
