Pair of Mid-Century Gold Aventurine Bullicante on White Murano Table Lamps
About the Item
This pair of white and aventurine Mid-century Murano table lamps were made in the style of Barovier & Toso, a renowned Murano glasshouse. The lamps were crafted from white Venetian glass enhanced with flecks of gold aventurine, with ribbing throughout the surface. They are further embellished with a bottom skirt of rigaree trim and bullicante detailing. Each lamp rests on a gilt bronze base resembling pointed flower petals with veining. They come with a pair of light beige lampshades, that are detailed with thin brown piping.
The Barovier family from Murano, Italy, have been world leaders in glass production since the Middle Ages. The Company was founded in 1295. In 1939 the company merged with the Toso family to become “Barovier & Toso”. The glasshouses on the island of Murano, like Barovier & Toso, are famous for highly ornamented glassworks made of pincered and molded blown glass.
The bullicante technique creates the controlled bubbles that ornament the glass, creating a polka dot pattern throughout. Aventurine, as its name suggests, is a decoration made by "aventitius" surface effects with flecks of gold, a 15th Century technique. The result of combining these techniques is this pair of magnificent table lamps, full of subtle texture and dynamism.

Vintage Murano Bullicante & Gold Aventurine Wall Sconce by Barovier & Toso
By Barovier&Toso
Located in Chicago, IL
This exquisite sconce is crafted by the legendary Murano glass studio, Barovier and Toso.
The clear shade is decorated with "Bullicante", which in Italian literally means "full of bubbles". To get the controlled bubble effect, a metallic mold with spikes comes in contact with molten glass. The spikes create small holes on the surface of the glass, creating a pattern. After it’s been left to cool down for a few moments, the whole piece is submerged in molten glass again. This second layer completely covers the first one. The layering process is repeated several times. The holes previously impressed on the first layer are not covered, thus causing air to be trapped between the layers of glass in the desired pattern.
It is finished off with a finial of gold aventurine, whereby the glass has gold inclusions. Aventurine, as its name suggests, is a decoration made by "aventitius" surface effects with flecks of gold, a 15th century technique. The result is this magnificent, exquisitely crafted, wall light, full of subtle texture and dynamism.
Has been rewired to meet US electrical standards and uses one base light bulb with a maximum of sixty watts. We recommend using LED lights because they help preserve the antique fixture...
