About the Item

A commanding light fixture by renowned Italian glass artist Alfredo Barbini. This large, bell shaped pendant showcases the iconic scavo technique, developed in Murano to mimic the ancient, weathered texture of archaeological glass. The surface features naturalistic spotting and mottled texture that creates an ethereal glow when lit, while the steel-wrapped wires offer adjustable height for custom installations. Hand-blown in Italy, this Barbini pendant is both understated and hypnotic, making it a timeless piece of functional art from one of Murano’s most celebrated 20th-century masters.
