Pair of Vintage Murano Glass Rostrato Lamps in the Manner of Ercole Barovier
About the Item
Exceptional pair of Murano glass lamps in the manner of Ercole Barovier. Founded in 1295, Barovier is a respected name in Italian Murano glass design. In the 1920-1939s, designer Ercole Barovier began a 50-year career as the artistic director of Barovier & Toso. These lamps made in the 1960s are attributed to his design. This timeless design that first appeared in the 1930s called "Rostrato" by Ercole Barovier and continues to meet today's home decor needs. The lamps are made in clear "cristallo" glass that has an outer layer of rows characterized by spikes called "rostri" that protrude from the surface. This Rostrato pattern is done as the glass is cooling off. The natural non-uniform glass spikes made by the skilled glassmith create the allure and beauty of the design.
Due to being handmade, there are irregularities from when it was blown. For example, the taller lamp has a spot that is cloudy and the shorter lamp has a spot that looks like a fracture but is actually the spot where the spike design ended, the break, so to speak, of the spike. The shades have slight vertical slants. It is these signs of natural imperfections that make the artistry alluring.
Placed on any surface, these accent lamps will glisten like a gem when lit. Use them as night lights in a bedroom, or to call attention to end tables in a living room.

- Vintage Murano Bullicante & Gold Aventurine Wall Sconce by Barovier & TosoBy Barovier&TosoLocated in Chicago, ILThis 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...Category
