Table Lamp In Murano Glass By Carlo Nason For Mazzega, Italy 1970's

About the Item

Table lamp in Murano glass by Carlo Nason for Mazzega.As a descendant of a family that has specialized in making Murano glass for generations, it was Carlo Nason who changed his course in relation to his relatives. While father Vincenzo was mainly concerned with traditional and beautifully decorated glass works, Carlo joined the modernist movement and started experimenting. In addition to designs for manufacturers I TRE, Kalmar, Vistosi, Murano Due, and Firme di Vetro, among others, he has had a longstanding collaboration with Mazzega. Design This table lamp, the majority of which consists of Murano glass, is an object that will immediately attract attention. The technique used by the Murano glassblower is called lattimo, also known as milk glass. It looks like fine porcelain and is opaque and milky white in color. This glass technique was invented in Murano in the 15th century and in this specific case the maker added a beautiful blue to it and lets more light shine through than the white parts.The incandescent lamp ensures that the light is mainly directed downwards and thus spreads powerfully and diffusely. Of course you always have the option to replace it with a regular bulb. The aluminum base can be disconnected from the glass shade using three screws after which you will find an E27 type fitting,, in other words a large fitting. Condition The lamp is in very good condition.

Carlo Nason

A mid-century modern reference for today’s Murano glassmakers, Carlo Nason influenced the current tradition of glassmaking on an island renowned for it for hundreds of years. Celebrated for their exceptional designs, Nason’s lighting fixtures are sought after by collectors worldwide.

Learning to design and craft pieces from the family vetreria — rather than partaking in any formal training — Nason was working with the maestros at his family’s company furnace, V. Nason & C., attached to their family home by the time he was 11 years old. Although his roots are in Murano glassmaking, he took inspiration from the clean lines and natural colors of the Japanese metal vases he had seen in his youth at Milanese fairs.

Wanting to produce modern glass lamps, Nason worked with his family friend Gianni Mazzega of Mazzega Murano. The 1970s and 1980s were productive and creative years for Nason as the sole and independent designer at Mazzega Murano. His prolific career has also seen him design for other lighting manufacturers like I TRE, Murano Due and Kalmar.

After a mere four years as a glassmaker, Carlo Nason had his creations displayed at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York. The credit for the artisan’s pieces that were included in “Glass 1959” went to his family’s company, but the designs were all authored by Carlo.

Stepping away from the traditional, vibrant Murano stylings, Nason kept true to his inspiration, working with modern and simple forms that are relatively free of color. Nason told Palainco in a rare 2019 interview that his emotions inspired the shapes. And his legacy includes fixtures that are irreplicable and unreproducible, too — Nason made lighting pieces with multiple layers of glass that would be too costly or difficult to recreate today, and some designs were made with processes and materials now unavailable or banned in the glassmaking world.
