About the Item

Table lamp by Gino Vistosi Impressive globe lamp by Vistosi, Italy 1970. Murano glass hand-blown by the masters of Vistosi. Vistosi lamps are created by a team of renowned international designers. Their products are considered to be of the best quality available in the world. Every detail of their lamps is masterfully created by experts who strive for nothing less than the best. History . . . In 1791 Gio-Batta Vistosi was appointed Gastaldo dell'Arte-the head of the glassmakers' guild-and became the delegate of the owners of the Murano furnaces. The decline of the Venetian Republic and riots among the workers marked a long dark period in art glass production. During this century many furnaces closed for good and Art seemed to fade away. It was not until 1945 that Guglielmo Vistosi opened a new furnace in Murano. During the 1950s, under the leadership of Guglielmo's grandchildren, Vistosi production began to focus on lighting items, achieving considerable success. The decisive move toward success is to link production with the most famous designers of the time such as Gae Aulenti, Ettore Sottsass, Adalberto Dal Lago, etc. In 1989, Moretti, a Murano entrepreneur with long experience in the glass industry, acquired the prestigious brand, establishing Vetreria Vistosi. To this day, highly skilled artisans create the world's most exciting glass lamps. The Vistosi glass . . . Vistosi blown glass is produced with a unique blend. Once the sodium is reduced to a minimal amount, the glass seems to acquire the characteristics of steel: it is durable and does not dull over time. The craftsmanship of each piece is revealed by imperceptible differences on the surface. This particular glass globe is complex to make because of its size and the use of two types of glass. Complex glass designs can take up to 7 experts to make. The glass globe is hand-marked "Vistosi." A unique opportunity to own a true Vistosi masterpiece!
