Murano glass centerpiece attr. to Vittorio Zecchin

About the Item

Large Murano Glass Centerpiece Dish Attributed to Vittorio Zecchin, 1940s-50s This exquisite Murano glass centerpiece dish, attributed to the renowned Vittorio Zecchin, embodies the timeless elegance and artistry for which Murano glass is celebrated. Created circa the 1940s-50s, the dish is a stunning example of mid-century Italian glass design, reflecting Zecchin's mastery in combining simplicity with refined sophistication. Captivating Design and Form The centerpiece features a soft yellow-green hue, reminiscent of the natural world and infused with a subtle luminosity that changes with the light. Its form is characterized by soft, rounded shapes and gentle, wave-like undulations along the edges, evoking a sense of fluidity and harmony. This organic aesthetic lends the dish a serene and captivating presence, making it a striking focal point in any setting. Although unsigned, the piece is attributed to Vittorio Zecchin, one of Murano's most celebrated glass artists, known for working with Cappellin and Venini. Zecchin's designs are characterized by ethereal transparency and graceful shapes, and this plate bears his distinctive style. Similar examples can be found in the literature, including the book Vittorio Zecchin: Transparent Glassworks for Cappellin and Venini, edited by M. Barovier and C. Sonego (Skira, Milan, 2017).

By Vittorio Zecchin

Large centerpiece plate, design by Vittorio ZECCHIN (1878-1947) in Murano blown glass ORIGIN Italy PERIOD 40s AUTHOR Vittorio ZECCHIN (Murano, May 21, 1878 - Murano, April 15, 1947) was an Italian artist.
